Thats a pretty broad question. Your gonna have to give us some more information about your setup before anyone can give you even a ballpark estimate.

What do you have in it? compression ratio, heads, cam, what type exhaust, intake, etc, you know all that good stuff.

"Stock"...

It could be a 170 HP wonder out of the 70s. It could be a 375 HP LT-1. It could be the "Goodwrench" replacement motor that you can buy, that's "rated" at 245 HP, but actually does about 200 in a real-world installation. It could be a truck TBI motor. Those are all "stock".

Get a head casting number; while that won't tell everything, it will go a long way toward identifying what it might be.
