In my 93 chevy 350 tbi...the stock hp was 245.....
I've been told by an engine shop between 200 amd 210hp
Change the heads to vortec and cam and intake and you will have 350hp+
I have the vortec heads. What cam and intake ? Still TBI ? Or carb it ?
215 but with a cam, intake, double hump/fuelie heads and rockers should be around 380hp
210 h.p. for a 350 TBI. I ported and polished my head's. Ripped the cat off and ran 3 inch pipe. And added a cold air intake. Running around 265 h.p. now I estimate.
Those old school double hunt feeling heads aren't the answer, the 96 and up vortec heads are the best flowing cylinder head Chevrolet ever made couple that with a hydraulic roller cam with the duration around 226 degrees at 50,000 tap it rise will get your engine up in the 350 horsepower range those heads will also give you a bump in compression because they have smaller Chambers.
You can buy brand new for tech heads from the summit racing for around $600 that's quite a bargain
