Flattops means decent compression- around 9.6:1 with a 30-over on the block. So that's worth something right there. Mild cam? How mild? Like stock mild or like mild for a top fuel car? Let's assume a typical flat tappet 270* grind. Heads are a big differntiator but I assume you have the stock 86 heads on there. Nothing to write home about. Exhaust is.... stock manifolds, y-pipe and cat? Ouch. That hurts.

I'll say you're around the 220-230 level. All that assumes it's tuned properly. That's my best W.A.G.
