How much hp do you think im running with...
32/36 progressive carb
pertronix ignitor 1
pacemaker dual outlet header
2 1/4 piping 40 series
full port and polished head.
mid high range cam and lifters
dual roller chain and new harmonic balancer?
 
do you have fuzzy dice? that makes it FLY

sorry, too much caffine...

quick questions though....
what engine/head is this?
stock valves or bigger?
did you open up intake when you put on carb?
 
I don't want to sound like a smarty pants, but often a modified car may not yield the % increase in power it could because acuratetuning can yield the very last degree, but a poor tune can loose most of the gains!

You must check out MustangSix's post on power from the Engine Analyser 3.0.

The headers only give a 15 to 25% boost if the carburator is big enough and tuned to suit. The 32/36 is an easy 130 hp carb with its stock 25/26 venturis. If you go up to 30/31 venturis, you can gain another 15% if you have the large1.75" post 1970'/80's head.

A 280 degree cam, with the right bits, can make a huge increase as the engine is so undercammed stock.

Worst impairment to peak power is the single drink 'baud rate'. If it had 2, 3 or six point dispensing, those sharp turns and in the log manifold wouldn't be such an issue. Power is a fucntion of torque times a speed factor. Power is improved when the rate of fuel flow is improved. Jack sumed it up in the post he made a while back. Unless you do an Offy, 2-bbl Schendahl, or Mustang Geezer-type direct mod, you won't gain lots of power.

The 2v head has with it a better exhast, intake and carb, and bolts on another 35 rear wheel hp. Without cam.

A log with a good 32/36, headers, exhast and a GOOD cam should match a stock 2V mod everywhere.
