that's military speak for Wild Assed Guess.
so far i only see injectors and tweaked apc as things that really matter in the hp game. i'd say more along the lines of 190ish max but like so many people who make assumptions based on others assumptions...you may find my answers are off base. don't ask us to guess. put in new tune-up components, add octane booster as predet prevention and put it on a dyno. even the guessed at BHP is meaningless. no one knows how much the trans eats for sure. Wheel horsepower is the only real number and only a dyno will give you that. It will be less than you guesstimate but the only number that matters. I get 165 whp with stock components and a ported head on my 86 spg. no idea other how much BHP that is. more than 165 i would guess.
