How do you tell how much HP it's making? Take it to a dyno and run it on there. I guess that's what you're asking

I hope its just plummed and its not actually being sprayed. That can be pretty scary for the motor

horsepower grows on trees.

It sounds like your asking how to find HP without modding the motor. Reducing weight is the best way, also traction can help.

No, I think he wants to know how to "find out" how much HP the car has already with the mods he listed

To be completely accurate, reducing weight does NOT get you more HP. HP is just a measure of work/time. Reducing weight will not show up on a dyno. When you reduce weight, you make better USE of your power 'cause your power/weight ratio goes up, but the power is a constant.
