like everyone else says "get it dynoed." but a rough guess i would say about 280 wheel. THem stock heads are going to kill u especially if they aint ported. But its only a rough guess.

+1, its a must to get better flowing heads for that setup. if i am not mistaken the stock heads are the most restricted part of the engine.

Take them heads off and grind off the themo-bump in the exhaust ports with a dremel. That will get you an easy 20 more rwhp.

no way 280, maybe if he had a good set of heads, like 240-250rwhp.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say maby, maby 190hp. You are going to loose HP with those upgrades.
