About 220-225rwhp if you still have the stock MAF housing. The stock 55mm MAF is very restrictive so add 10rwhp if you've installed a MAF housing that's greater than 70mm.

Thread cleaned up. I think a few parties need to apologize to the OP for mucking up his thread.

Knock off the name calling and stay on topic, please. Thank you.









OP:
How many miles on the engine?
Stock bottom-end and heads? (aka, any rebuild at all recently)
