Best guess would be between 120-140hp. Good cam would be crane 12 or 14.

It will also depend on the quality/style of said ghetto blaster IM.

Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.

I'd get a longtube, not a shorttube, and a 2.5" catback.

Probably mid 130-140's to the wheels. The cam and the ECU you're running will hold you back.

Do a crane 14, and and AFX ecu (and an SAFC to tune the idle) and you're looking at 140-160WHP.
