hp guess?

Take an L98 and do this to it:

fully ported L98 heads, fully rebuilt. engine fully rebuilt. mild-medium cam kit. SLP headers, hooker exhaust, fully ported intake with SLP runners, cold-air intake. free/cheap mods, custom-burnt chip (how much are these anyways? $200 or so? i'll have to research I guess)

just throwing around ideas here... i was thinking 320-330 hp?

Get it checked on a Dyno. 300/320 in your dreams.

Using DD2000, I figured 9:1 compression, not sure what cam you have so I entered the Comp 268XE, headers w/mufflers, not sure of your valve sizes (I put 1.94/1.5). Came up with a little over 330hp I believe. Stupid me closed the program, so going by memory.

Of course compression, valve sizes and cam are going to play a large role in this.

So is parasitic loss and the drivetrain

Thus I think my guess was fairly reasonable.
