Horsepower for 69Z 302 w/#140 cam

[miket1]

The new engine is built w/replica #140 cam from Howards Cams, they say it is new technology w/smoother opening & closing ramps than the old GM cam, lash is .022/.022, It has 1 hour of break in time at fast idle from 1200 to 1700 ,, fine tuning the carb. & distributor the 302 is getting very crisp and idles down to 1000 rpm nicely, i need to adjust a couple things but so far it is running great.
I will not dyno the engine, just curious what approximate HP would be.

Do you know how much vacuum your engine makes at idle? Are you running the stock 4053 carb and 480 distributor? I am interested in using this cam in my street dz302 but worried it will have idle issues and load up at idle. I really want to make maximum horsepower using stock parts.
