Default Whats my hp?

Hey Im pretty new to this site and I own a 88 GT with a couple of mods. Like 4;10 gears, auburn posi, aluminium driveshaft, 5 speed tranny, MAC fenderwell intake, cobra upper and lower intake manifold, 70 mm throttle body and spacer, underdrive pullies, 24lb injectors, fuel pressure regulator, Mac shorty headers with off-raod H-pipe and exhausts, ac and smog pump deletes. What would be the estimated whp Im looking at? also whats the fuel to air ratio on stangs I heard they should run allitle lean? any advice would be greatly appreciated, would upgrading to a 190 lph fuel pump be a good idea or should I go allitle bigger? any cam advice?
Thanks alot for any advice.

You might be good for about 20-30 more than stock w/ the mods listed.

I agree with Pro5.0SC. he's one of the gurus around here along with twisted and Quik. just to name a few. I myself know a lot about 5.0s too. I was hoping for big numbers with my combo. I had a TFS Street heat intake, 75mm tb, 80 mm maf, MSD, timing at 10*, SCT Eliminator Custom burnt chip, 3.73 gears, 30# inj, 255 intank pump, shorty headers and off road H pipe, and flows and I only saw 250 on a chassis dyno, it was 217 on the mustang dyno that did my SCT chip. SO don't look for big numbers.if you do you will be dissapointed. BTW, Nice freaking car PRO! you're my idol. lol.

with those mods, i'd put you between 230 and 240 at the wheels, heads is where you will notice the biggest change. grab a mild cam and some GT-40 heads and youll be seeing 270hp with your current mods

You think he'd gain that much rwhp? I thought stock they were only like 215 - 225 at the flywheel. I figured with a manual tranny he's probably pushing 180 - 190 rwhp stock. With his mods I didn't think he would gain 40 - 50 rwhp.

with some GT-40 heads and a nice cam, he would basically have a Cobra.

I only have full exhaust, CAI, UDP's and TB, and im making 270hp

he said he already has a gt-40 intake and 24# injectors... gt-40 heads, a nice cam and a tune and he could see 270 too
