Not bad for an automatic transmission. Stock they run around 208-210 rwhp.

Should be a little bit higher. "some port work done" could be hurting you if it was a home port job. I put down 225rwhp and 281rwtq with just a catted x pipe and flowmasters so i think you are on the low side seeing that youre a pre-99 car and the heads would have added compression and you are probably tuned as well.

You really think so lizzy??? Cus i put down 225rwhp stock(mistake in previous post), and i made 249rwhp in 95 degree weather and like 85%+ humidity...so i think that the op's numbers are slightly low seeing how he has more compression, if the heads were done right then he is flowing more air through the heads, and shorties and a tb...should be higher. But that might just be me.
