Default Horsepower Guess?

Hello I am new to this forum and I am in college last weekend I finally finished my 88 notchback during my fall break. This is my setup:
88 302 Block
68 302 heads 54cc combustion chamber, intake valve size 1.94in and exhaust valve size of 1.60 they are have been ported and polished
Competition Roller Cam 512 lift with a 224 @.50
Flat top pistons Compression is around 10.5
Edelbrock Performer Intake
4 Barrel 650 Holley Double Pump Carburetor
BBK Shorty Headers
Flowmaster H-pipe with Flowmaster mufflers
1.6 roller rockers
I think thats about it if you have a question if I am missing something let me know as I can not go to the strip until x-mas break which sucks

Yep, no more than 250 RWHP if you are lucky.
You need to get a set of heads and some long tube headers.......

Your intake is your choke point right now...... sell it and get a RPM or RPM air gap....mid 200's
