How much horsepower do you think I will have?

I am just curious how much horsepower I might have after I am done with my install. Some of my friends want an "estimate" or a ballpark to what the engine to do and I don't really have a clue. Mods are listed at this site.

id say you have somewhere between 1rwhp and 4000rwhp...seriously, u will never know unless u dyno it because the guesses people can give u may b close, but i guarantee it wont b exact. i know i know that was rather mean of me, but it is true. good luck man. go dyno that bad-boy and tell us how it does.

More than your making now. Its all in the tune man, it'll make you or break you. But you should make good power.

With good tuning I'll say 345-355 at the wheels.

You should be around 330 to 340 rwhp. With Long tubes that would jump to about 375 to 390 depending on your tuning.

with a decent port and polish you could pull 380 rwhp like other guys have done with that cam.

I would say with a good tune your car could be close to 375 rwhp. I was looking at some old posts and a few guys have said they have between 360 and 380 depending upon the flow #'s on the heads and LT's or shorties.

Whats an easy way to add about 25 rwhp to my car? I have done everything I can think of to the top end except for an electric waterpump.
