I have an 89 c1500 with the tbi 350 and I was wondering if anyone has a rough idea what kinda power I can make with it, with supporting mods such as longtube headers, edelbrock carb swap, summit k1103 cam and a high rise intake.

Like 250ish horsepieces, maybe even to the tire.
Not as much as you want, and fair-to-middlin' chance of wrecking driveability, fuel economy, and/or emissions compliance. I'd be looking to upgrade to an OEM or OEM-style roller cam even if it meant picking up a different core engine to start with. You'd also need a different distributor, with centrifugal and vacuum advance.
Keeping the EGR? Vortec heads make that difficult.
Perhaps a moderator will move this thread to the LSX + Carb Swaps sub-forum.
I want to make around 250-260 hp and what im also looking for is a more torque to be able to do donuts more easily

I like your thinking however 4.56 gears may give a better cruise rpm
