about how much hp should I have?

I have a 95 T/A that I just got about a week or so ago. I changed all of the fluids, Mobil 1 synthetic oil, with a Mobil 1 filter. Drained the trans, put ATF in it, went throught the gears, drained it out, and then refilled with more ATF, and I also drained the diff, put new gear oil in it, and replaced the gasket. My question is, the car is an M6 with a new centerforce clutch, and the only mods done to it currently are a CAI, and a flowmaster exhuast. The car sounds pretty good, but I was wondering about how much hp I would have with these two mods? Base hp is showing at 275, but is this accurate, or were they underrated?

Thanks,
Travis

245-265rwhp depending on many things. Should be good for a 13.80-14.20 @97-101mph.

14.2 is the norm. I would say the HP is about 250-275. The engine might be getting up there in miles and not produce that now.

when my car had a CAI and flowmaster cat-back I ran a best of 14.13 with big heavy 18" DUBs and it was spinning about 20-30ft off the line.......so theres a lot more potential there....take it to the track and play with it, it's hard getting them off the line

thats true, I was playing around with the car the other day, and it is hard to get it to launch without spinning the wheels. So, I guess a 13.8 or so woudln't be out of the question with a good launch. I would like to get it dyno tuned with the air and fuel ratio, hopefully that would help it out some as well.
