What kind of HP/TQ numbers might you be expecting?

I will let others guess, and throw out opinions. Honestly, regardless of what it may actually have, I'm shooting for my target, high 14's at around 93 mph. I will say I believe a factory 340 makes about 90 hp more than a factory 318 2bbl. If I can throw under 500.00 at a 318 2bbl and run with a '73 340 Duster (factory), I will be thrilled. Remember, I'm using the factory converter, 2.76 gears, and no headers. So that means I need to add at least 90 horsepower to run with the 340 duster, because they came with 3.23 gears.
I don't know IF I added 90 horse or not (yikes, without headers...?????), but I'm more focused on what I want the car to do other than numbers on paper.
