Have no idea what HP estimates might be, etc... you need to give us more details on the engine... 3.8l V6, 305, 350... if the heads were ported and polished that would ahve a decent effect on HP, but I am guessing the only way you'd know for sure would be to get it dyno'd.

Got any cam specs to go with those heads?

i agree, these guys will need alot more info to answer the question regarding power output of the engine.

as for the starting issue, many cars dont fire up right away. there may be three or four cranks before it fires. thats normal. if its cranking for like five seconds or more then youve got an issue. nice thing about your 97 is it will tell you if anythings wrong with it, and usually exactly whats wrong with it. have it scanned for error codes. gods gift to driveability diagnostics

ok guys. 97 z28, 6 speed. secondary air injection malfunction codes. and o2 sensor, no big deal

[camaroguy149]

97 camaro z28. LT1 350. with no idea of cam. specs, and head specs. so wat does a regular 350 crank out hp wise?

[camaroguy149]

any guesses on why it takes a while to crank, does air injection hav effect on this? and can a charcoal canister. or purge canister switch cause the excess fuel to stay in ther and foul the plugs or something?

[vortecman]

does someone not have google? and air injection? is your car canadian?

ur fuel filter might be cloged, the stock hp for ur car is 280-285 with u mod its prob 290-300,to the wheels around 250....not too bad.also check ur throtle body ,might be dirty.
