If the engine is in really good tune and all stock otherwise, around 200.

elderbroc cam and intake performer plus.

What Edelbrock cam? There is no such thing as a 'Performer Plus' intake manifold. What year 307 is it? The earlier version with normal sized ports or the later swirl port version with peanut sized ports? Please don't post like you're texting.

probably not much, id say around 180-200 tops.. 307s are reliable but they are dogs unless you throw a boat load of money at them, even then its not worth it.. your best bang for your buck is to switch out rear gears.. and leave the motor alone..

why didn't you dyno it?

Eledbrock does make performer intake and also performer plus cam .if 307 is rated at 180 from factory this combination cam and lifter should be at least 25 hp gain

Yea with a spot on tune probably around 200 HP and maybe 260 TQ. If he has a 442 he does not need gears as they came with 3.73s.

That is correct, however your first post stated 'performer plus INTAKE' which leads one to believe you weren't sure of what you were talking about. Taking the time to type out a coherent post with the proper punctuation would've made it easier us to understand. It only takes a couple more seconds to post in a clear, easy to read manner instead of posting like your texting someone.

Assuming you have the 5A headed version 307 ( which you still have not confirmed ), 25 hp MAY be possible. The Performer Plus 204/214 cam isn't the best cam and the Performer intake isn't much better than stock, so basicaly you're trying to get 25 HP out of just the cam and I think you may come up a bit short.
