Duplicating the 350 HO crate
The other day, I was reading an old Car Craft magazine and they were dyno testing a 350 vortec HO (330hp). With headers and 2.25 exhaust, they made 341 hp @ 5400 and 383 tq @ 4000. I got to thinking, I have a similar set up in my truck. I have a vortec 350 (.040). The only differences are that I have the 268H Comp Cam .454/.454 218/218, a GMPP high rise intake with 3/4" spreadbore adaptor and a quadrajet with .73 jets. I also have longtube headers with 2.25 exhaust. Is it a safe bet that my engine is making similar power to the Vortec HO?
