I was wondering if anyone out there if anyone knows how much horsepower the following item for an 89 lx will give.

Crower Camshaft

Weber Carb

S&S or Pacesetter headers

Plus a reground cam

I think he meant cam as in the gear. Cam is the gear thing that is driven by the timing belt and turns the camshaft.

I do not know the numbers but trust me you would be very happy if you did that.

30-40 is a bit much I would like to see that dyno unless you had a damn wild cam grind most places talk about a 6-8 gain and as for the rest they will help but not that high about 10 from the webber sounds good maybe about 7-8 for the rest just a guess. I try not to over estimate.
