I would guess around 340ish it all depends how good your tuner is. Yes heads and a throttle body would be nice but dont go buying a bigger tb until you have a nice set of heads on there otherwise it will be a waste.

the norm for a 6 speed car is around 330-340 area.

the hot cam works pretty damn well with stock heads.
a bigger throttle body is good for about 8 hp on a cammed car so its worth it.

My cam is more aggressive than the hotcam (230/242) with full bolt ons and I run slightly above 350.
