Whats everyones HP and torque raitings? Mine are:
92hp@2800 rpm, and 134lbs/torque@4400 rpm

not as much as i'd like @ any RPM

My Delta 88's 307 is about 140hp and 250 torque from the factory, 20 years and 175k miles later, who knows now, plus i got an edelbrock carburator and accel supercoil on it too, so i diffentnly don't know :?

My 455 i got sittin on an engine stand has about 350hp

Mine is rated at 200hp and 300 something tq. The Paw 214/224 cam, headers, and edlebrock RPM intake that I will be putting on should push my to shy of 300hp at crank. Next winter when I do my motor rebuild and build up I should push about 400-425hp at the crank.

The Cutlass is pushing 110hp and 190tq

Mine is rated 165hp and 215ft/lbs stock, but with my mods, I'll safely estimate 190-200hp and 230ft/lbs. Those are from my SOTP dyno, and comparing my car's performance to other cars of the same year.

Roughly 325hp/450ft-lbs

Stock : 200 HP @ 4600 RPM/260 FT @ 3600 RPM.. not sure what it would be with straightpipe and cone air filter.....BTW..did they ever make a DOHC 3.8?

165hp / 215ft/lbs

but what good is all this torque when you have a car that weighs in excess of 3500 lbs???

(In a wise, sensei master voice)
Ahh, young grasshopper...you have yet to learn the ways of the Olds V8 Weight is NOT an issue!

Vista: stock 350 2 barrel not sure but it pulls 4,200 lbs around pretty good!
442: 400 Olds with 455 heads, Edelbrock intake, 750 DP, headers and duals..haven't had the car long enough to get any road time on it..still has some issues I'm working out.
Cutlass: 600 hp/620 ft.lbs torque

Horsepower- 160 @ 4000 RPM
Torque(lb-ft)-215 @ 2750 RPM

these are factory ratings and i've been told that there not correct.
that is, GM made the numbers lower then they actually are..

best thing about this engine is the low torgue rpm's.

also on the DOHC question.
I had a 1992 grand prix that had a 3.4L DOHC.

Just mod it up some more and drop some weight. You can boost that torque up. In fact, I bet with that intake, you have at least 10 more pounds of torque, maybe 15. I know this - my own intake dropped my 0-60 times by between .3 and .5 of a second, depending on conditions. Sounds wild, but it's true. To change a 0-60 time that much, it takes a real power increase.

Got a '78 Cutlass with a 76 350 Olds.Anyone care to guess what my HP & TQ are? Only mods as yet are K & N filter,th-350 B & M shift kit,& fresh air feed to air cleaner.Have a set of headers & a dual exhuast job coming soon.That is after the PST poly front end rebuild,and Eibach springs.

Your hp and torque ratings are-1976 350 v8 cutlass-170hp@3800 rpm and torque-275lbs@2400 rpm
These are the factory figures for the optional 1976 350 V8
Hope I was able to

Thanks,I was hoping for a little more than that.I guess the dual exhaust will help some...maybe 15 HP more? And I will eventually tune the carb better or get a new one.Whats the cheapest/easiest way to free up some ponies,besides the headers & exhaust...manifold and cam? And what about swapping out the TQ convertor?
