Dare I start another HP thread?
I am not trying to start up another fued between any one here, but I would like to know what kind of Hp my car will be puttin out. I am talking about flywheel HP here. 
I can do the math to figure out the RWHP.
Ok now to my question. What I have is a 98GT 5 speed with underdrive pulleys, O/R H-pipe, and 2 1/2 cat back flowmasters. I am going to be purchasing a set of Stage 1 GT Romeo heads, with .540x.540 lift cams. Along with a C&L upper intake with a 75mm bbkTB, and the C&L inlet pipe with a 85mm MAS. Not sure on buying headers for the car just yet, as I know how much of a pain they can be to do work on the car after they are installed.
What I would like to know is what kind of HP will I be getting out of the motor at the flywheel?
Like I said, I am not trying to start another flaim war here, just looking for some really helpful info.
Thx, Flying5.0

You are starting at 225 at the flywheel. Your current mods should net you about 20 hp. Your suggested intake mods should get you an additional 10-15 hp, assuming you are adding a high flow air filter.

Crazy, glad to hear you say that, can you expand on 70 mm TB vs 75 MM Tb, lots of other views going on right now. I just went 70 MM TB. I hope I did the right thing.

id go with a Ford Racin 70mm Throttle Body instead of a 75mm unless you plan on adding a blower
