Which headers? What size exhaust?

You've got more heads and intake than cam. Probably capable of something in the 350-375 GFWHP range, but would need specifics about exhaust to give a better estimate.

Re: How much power am I making?

The headers are shorty's and i assume they are a summits or something of that nature (came on the car)

The y-pipe is probably 2 or 2.5" its pretty small and I'm sure the flow is terrible, it was made on the car when I bought it, then it goes into 2.5 into a 3" bullet and turndown under the car.

I want to up the cam, but I am ready for a t56 money permitting and don't want to stall this auto before hand...
