I don,t see that elgin cam listed
but without running it thru a software dyno, because I don,t have exact compression, cam specs etc. Id be looking for about 310-320 rear wheel hp
the one rather obvious upgrade you could make is going to a 3.73-4.11 rear gear ratio and swapping to a 200r4 or 700r4 overdrive transmission, or at least to that type rear gear ratio and a 3000 stall converter in the current trans.
