Can You Guess How Much Horsepower This Beast Has Got?
This motor has only been ran on a engine stand so help me figure out what to expect.
Guestimates are more than welcome!!! lets see how close everyone gets. Then
when I put it in, I will dyno it and let who ever gets the closest know they won.
what the hell we might can make a contest out of this
About the Motor: It is a fully modified 1969 Chevy Z28 Camaro 350 4 bolt main
motor that includes Comp Xtreme Energy™, XE274H-10 Very Strong Mid-Range
Torque and Throttle Response Cam, Comp aluminum Roller Rocker lifters,
forged pistons, Brodix Track 1 Polished aluminum heads with 221cc intake port
and 67cc combustion chambers. These heads are valued at 2,500.00 each.
Brodix orange stained aluminum Valve covers that match the motor. 1/4 inch
thick Headers that match up to the heads and have had glass packs already
welded on for straight pipes. Brodix 1000 Series High Rise Intake, Holley
750 Double Pumper carb with fuel rail to match. Over sized air cleaner,
Mallory Dual Point Distributor, M.S.D. Ignition System, Accel Super Coil,
Moroso Motor Mounts. Water Pump, Electric Water Pump Motor, Flex Coolant Fan

Aaaannddd, this is moving to General Tech because OT is not serious enough for it...
As far as HP goes, get it dyno'd that's the only true way to find out. We need more information, such as the compression ratio, what RPM you're going to be running up to, what ratio of rockers etc. etc.
From what you've put down it sounds like it could make around 400 HP if it were a dyno queen...maybe. In a car it's not going to make 500 HP unless you have a serious cam in it.

Brodix Track 1 Polished aluminum heads with 221cc intake port and 67cc combustion chambers. These heads are valued at 2,500.00 each. is this big enough cam?

No way in hell you're making 500 HP with that cam. To get 500 HP out of a 350 you're going to need a cam that is almost to the point of being unstreetable.
The post you made still didn't tell me the compression ratio, the size of the combustion chamber alone isn't going to tell us how much compression you have. If you're just going to give us stats we would at least need to know what type of pistions you're running (domed, flat top) and the head decking.

last week i seen a 72 nova on the dyno.it had a 383 ,dart heads,msd ign,and from the sound of it about the same cam you have ,it was no monster cam but it sounded real good.255hp-277trq.$2500.00 a piece-sounds like to much head and not enough cam
