With all those mods including the heads, I would guess about 300 to 310.. Do you still have the stock cats on it??

If that's rear wheel horsepower, I agree.

Get a bigger maf 75-85mm and 70-75mm t.b. and injectors 24#-30# the injectors are maxed out more than likely. You are probably in the 400-425 flywheel hp 310-330 rwhp assuming you have every bolt-on you can get for it. (headers, u.d.pulleys, no smog, ele.fan)
