u only think 300 at the crank from 260 stock.

The best way to know for sure is to get a custom dyno-tune. You can also time your acceleration from 60-90 mph, and then do some simple math, but factory speedometers aren't always that accurate either.
If you really want to make noticable power, you need forced induction.

yea im gunna agree with about 300 to the crank .. . i mean if yur talkin crank horsepower we'll give u 20 for full exhaust (being generous, and playing off what the catalogues say) 10 for plenum and tb, thats 290 and we'll say 20 for the tuning, tht sounds good. . .so 310 crank. . Exhausts really can lift you about 20 to the crank i mean letting the car breathe better is huge, and i know when i eliminate sum cats off my 96(3 on each side) that should eliminate ALOT of restriction, so i think the gain would be bigger for my car. but yea, 310. but you should dyno tune it

240rwhp. Most guys with all the mods including stage 2 cams and stage 2 ported heads are only getting 280-285rwhp! Heads are worth 15hp and cams another 15-20hp, so take 285 on the high side minus 35hp because you don't have heads or cams that's only 250rwhp. Also you have to consider that the heads and cams make your other mods produce more hp, so I would take away another 5hp per say. all in all 245rwhp!
