I estimate it won't be as much as this mean machine is putting down.

You have done nothing to add any significant HP over stock (mostly no premium fuel tune--the OEM 87 octane tune is pathetic)--215 to maybe 220 rwHP (peak) at most. Buy a handheld and load a canned 91 or 93 octane tune and you'll be at 230 to 235 peak, and pick up 7 to 15 HP in the mid-range.

Get it dynoed ($65 to $80 depending on where you are) if you really want to know--in fact getting a baseline dyno is the first thing you should do it you are serious about modding, I did mine 4 days after I bought the car.
