You probably picked up 10% each with the intake/cam, and headers. But, you're probably still limited by the 2.5" exhaust.
The L69 was rated at 190 HP, so you're probably in the 225-230 range now.
Fix that exhaust, port the heads and increase intake size to 1.94, put a better cam in, you're probably in the 275 or higher range.
