    If the car is in PERFECT shape, maybe 215 to the wheels.

    Rynoman made 244~ on a 3.4", 3" DP, canned PCM, 180*/plugs/wires, blahblahblah back in the day.

    Well, after putting about $3000 into the car to make sure its in tiptop shape, including a rebuilt transmission i think I should be around that range. hopefully.
    Next step would be tune after ported blower.

    If you havent dropped a pulley size yet, tuning wont really do anything. Sure you might get 1-5 hp from slightly changing something in the tune, but you wont feel it. Car already runs somewhat rich from the factory.

    Lean that piggy out.

    Regardless, reducing drivetrain loss is a huge thing, especially in an old tired car.
