Maybe you guys can tell me about how much horsepower I have with all of the mods I've done. I have yet to dyno it but I'd just like to get an idea if you guys can help. Thanks.

70mm Edelbrock Throttle Body
BBK Fenderwell Cold Air Induction
C&L 76mm Mass Airflow Meter

BBK ceramic coated full length headers with 1 3/4 primaries
Dr. Gas Off Road X-Pipe
Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-Back System
3.73's

Also, everyone says stock 5.0L HP is 225, but what really is it?

70mm is hurting you, 1 3/4 is hurting you. Probably not much over stock

Yeah...those are a bit big for your car right now...now with a supercharger those would probably be fine...

Your probably making 195rwhp...about 225-230hp at the motor...those 373's are helping you a lot more than anything

Good Luck with your car...

Id say in the 210 rwho range...

My dads 91 put down 212 with a catback and pulleys, so this is what I use for a comparison. id say the MAF and exhaust is helping some!

i agree with the headers and 70mm. if you would drop down to a 65mm t-body and some 1 5/8 long tube headers, you will see some more gains. But, you could be building it for "the future", so it might not be that bad. 210 at the wheels.
