hey guys, just wanna see if anybody wants to guess my hp.
its the middle of winter up here, so its not like i can drive it to the shop and get it dynoed. So if anybody wants to guess, that would be appreciated!

heres a list of the mods(its an 87 gt):

91 block bored .030 over, forged steel crank, manley rods, weisco pistons, FMS B303 cam, full double roller timing set, ARP studs and bolts.

k&n air fliter, C&L 73mm mass air meter, BBK 65mm TB, edelbrock performer RPM intakes(all port matched), 24lb injectors.

edelbrock performer RPM heads(2.02 intake 1.60 exhuast), HD dual valve springs, crane 1.6 roller rockers, crane hardened push rods.

MSD igniton, soft touch rpm control, crane PS91 coil, MSD 8.5mm wires cap and rotor.

JBA 1 5/8" headers, MAC h-pipe, flowmaster 2 chamber mufflers.

FMS HD trans upgrade, FMS alum drive shaft, B&M ripper shifter, steeda adj cable and quadrant, FMS HD clutch assembly, richmond 3:73 gears.

Im gonna get it chipped, tuned and dynoed in the spring, but just wanna get some guesses from all you guys.

Thanks in advance

What kinda compression on those pistons? You probably have some left on the table with that cam...the B isn't a "bad" cam, but there are better ones out there. Its not going to hurt you as bad as somebody with stock heads though....

Honestly though man, dyno numbers are bull----....what you do at the track is what matters, I've seen so many dyno's fudged.....most people I talk to are disappointed by their numbers, but go to the track and spank people, sometimes cars making 25+ more on the dyno. I only put down 267 rwhp and 268 rqtq on my pull...was I disappointed? You betcha...until I went to the track and trapped almost 110 on motor, on a car I drive daily. Not so disappointed anymore. It's a tool, dont use it for bragging rights.

However, with what I've seen, Im gonna give you 280 rwhp and 300 rwtq...thats my guess, and yes Im being conservative

Oh and also, your money may be better spent elsewhere than a chip, unless you have a SPECIFIC driveability issue that can't be fixed with an AFPR, timing, idle stop-screw adjustment and TPS voltage adjustment. Or if youre like me and hitting the factory rev limiter, I had to chip mine for that reason...all the modifications the chip made gained me horsepower that I can count on one hand and probably have a finger or two left-over. Just my .02, trying to save ya some bucks.
