Superstang, not to be a dick, but with the mods listed in your sig youre setting yourself up for a great disappointment if youre hoping for 375!

The block does not really matter. I would venture that he might be 290-300 rwhp at the most. He has a very close set up to the F/S car in my sig and it makes 315+- rwhp, but has a very light weight bottom end, plus some other minor things.

yeah..... I know its not the block. moment of retardation. I meant to say that all internals are stock and cam, so he didnt do anything for real power other than the heads.

Yea, stock block isnt really important ATM as theyre good for 450-500 horsepower. Youre probably putting 280-310 hp, at the crank, not wheels. You should get urself a 76 MAF and 70TB to go with ur CAI and intake. also some 1.7 rockers and youll put down some better numbers. Those mods arent very expensive either. Anyway, have fun with it.

If you still have the stock cam, MAF, and rockers I'd say about 250-270 to the wheels...maybe. A cam really makes a big difference. So does the MAF since it bottlenecks your airflow.

If it's more, congrats, but don't be dissappointed if it's not what you hoped b/c you still have lots of room for improvement.
