Default Power estimate before and after

Ive been wanting to upgrade my full upper/lower intake and TB for a while now and looks like i might have a chance. My current combo is a fresh 306 with ported E7's (how much porting? I don't know) forged pistons with vavle reliefs and an E cam. Everything up top as far as fuel and air go is stock with except for a Holley adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a mass air conversion. I also have full exhaust with Mac shorties, Mac O/R H, and the Flowmaster American Thunder system. How much horsepower do you think I'm running to the wheels right now???

In the near future I plan on going with a '93 cobra upper/lower and a 70mm TB, and possibly a bigger mass air meter, but I'm keeping the stock injectors, what kind of power do you think I'll make after these mods???

Send a PM to PRO50SC. He's great at guessing on HP. He can also tell you what gears are perfect for your car, depending on what mods you have. Once he helps you out with those he can give a fairly accurate estimate of your 1/4 time. Just hit him up with a PM and tell him I sent ya

Well my car has already been to the track, My first run ever in the car was a 9.16 in the 1/8 and I ran one more time with a better launch and my stock clutch blew half way down the track so I'm guessing its a high 8 second car right now, because I spun pretty bad the first run

He was nearly dead on with my estimates. I was impressed! He does good work!
