Question Modding

Ok I'm sure you've been asked this a million times but here it goes. I have a 90 GT and I want to know how much hp my car will be able to hold. It has an AOD (unfortunatley) And is stock now besides ram air. I plan on gettin an aluminum driveshaft when i get new gears. But how much can the stock 302 hold??
PS 3.55's or 3.73s??

I'm not tryin to make a killer car though I just want it to try and get to 300 hpish and I was under the impression 4.10s were for more aggressive cars

for a Driver you plan on driving alot Id go with the 3.73s The possibilities are endless on what you can do with your motor to make power all that limits you is your Credit card.
