Default HP guess

I'm setting up a dyno time for the near future as soon as I get my next paycheck, was wondering if anyone had a guess as to how much horsepower I should be expecting (it's a dynojet). It's an 86 gt, mass air converted. It's got gt40p heads, explorer upper/lower, e303 cam, 65mm tb, 75mm MAF for 24lb injectors, 24lb injectors, frpp shorties, mac catless prochamber, flowmaster mufflers, and a k&n filter.

That's what I was thinking, my dad seems to think it'll have around 275 but I wasn't so sure of that. What are some average 1/4 mile times for around 250rwhp? I'll take it to the track eventually but there's not one too close to where I live so it probably won't be until the end of the summer or next year.
It's got 3.55's in it.

Are they really that bad? I was going to put 3.73's in it because I assumed it had the stock ratio, but when I redid the rear end fluid I saw that someone had already put 3.55's in it. How many tenths in the 1/4 is the gear losing me? lol

Hook line and sinker, what you want for the 3.55`s when you get them out?
