Default How much hp?

Is there any way of telling or knowing how much hp I will produce if I have a 331ci with AFR 185 cc heads with 2.02 intake valve size and 1.6 exhaust valve size, edelbrock rpm intake, crane cam with 220 intake and exhaust duration @ .050, and 112 degree lobe separation. 1.7 roller rockers, 2.5" O/R h pipe 1.5" unequal length headers, 75 mm MAF with 24lb injectors and calibrated for them, cold air intake, Custom chip claiming to add approx 27 hp, and a world class t5 with a 500 hp clutch kit. Would anyone be able to just project some number, obviously It's not the raw numbers of 15 from maf 15 from exhause x number from this and that, it works as a system, so that can't just be add em up.. I'm just too budgeted and tight on money to be able to go to a dyno to really test it and see... maybe someone has seen a similar set up and remembers the hp/torque it had!!!

would there be any benefits of making it gear driven instead of belt/chain, like be more hp or just more endurance / less hassle, along with sounding cool.. Also I have no idea what the price of converting to a gear drive instead of chain or belt would be... lol

Well, just remember that HP #'s aren't everything. These cars can fly with just suspension modifications so don't forget those as well, even though I know you're on a budget.

Ive got to get a tune right now, but once I get it tuned to run properly I will definitely get some slips and go from there! What would be the first suspension upgrade I should do? I mean I will eventually upgrade the entire thing, but which comes first if I will end up doing it in stages.
