KILLER!

Listen to me. You're making a fool of yourself. Have your friend that OWNS the GP join either here or ClubGP. Don't listen to people at Autozone. Don't listen to claims on Ebay. Get the real poop from the people that do it every day.

Yeah that'd be close, but you could do a lot more before the intercooler. Rogue'* got over 400lb/ft and he'* still IC less.

WOW-if thats true I wouldve been around 600hp

321FWHP. with pretty much EVERY go fast mod except an I/C. The car couldve prolly been dynoed closer to 380 with some EXTENSIVE tuning (No timing, and 8* of KR).

IC'd with a 3.0 pulley, PCM and exhaust work might get him in the 300 range (crank). 330 would be pushing it. Engine may not last to long though reving that high without internal shoring. Try reading or searching clubgp.com for a bit.
