Default any idea of rwhp?

I've never had anyone guess my rwhp, and I just saw another thread of the same type. So I was thinkin' of lettin you guys take a stab at it, i'm pretty curious.

'90 LX, 5 speed.
fresh 306, forged pistons, new bearings, etc.
GT40P heads with roller rockers
E-303 cam
UDP's
GT-40 intake
Long tubes, o/r h, MAC catback
3.73's
CAI


Any takers?

would probably put you over, but ya afr heads, a BETTER intake, and a custom ground cam for your combo...That would make some hp/trq, Also what kind of injectors are you running right now? cause you should have at least 24, and if you go with more aggresive heads/intake/cam you will probably want to step up to like a 30#

im debating on the trick flow street, or the gt40 tubular intakes, both give good gains and looks
