I would guess 205-210 at the wheels if you have a 5 spd.

So lets say he's around 200 rwhp right now. According to you if he added aluminum heads and a good camshaft he'll be around 230-250 rwhp.......I think thats way too low unless he has a horrible tune. You should be able to get at least 290 with a good H/C/I combo. And with heads like AFRs and a custom cam with good tune, I've seen 320+ rwhp.
