Default about how much hosepower do I have

I just purchased a holley/lingenfelter intake manifold and a Volant cold air kit for my 98 z28 I have an 85mm grananatelli MAF,TB bypass, cutoff exhaust, ss hood, im not sure how much horsepower I have right now but my last run was 12.9@105.5, so im wondering how much estimate horsepower will I have after my new mods, and how will it improve my 1/4 mile since I wont be able to take it to the track for a while and test it.Thanks

Did you just make that up? Or did you use a hp calculator and figure up what he should have? I dont really care, just kind of curious.

I was just curious what other internal engine mods my car might have, I bought the car used from a local dealer and my friend and I were surprised to see that I ran 12.9@105.5.Thats why Im asking how much horsepower you guys think im pushing.
Thanks

I dyno'd 319 rwhp through unlocked stock converter (A4) on a 98 with exhaust and lid. Added a 3500 stall converter and ET streets and it went 12.62 @ 106.5. The 105.5 trap doesn't take that much power.

Its funny someone with only 32 posts is making comments like "too many post like that". I believe you will have around 320-325. Excuse some of the newbies, they think they own the site.

Agreed.

Also, looking at your track times, are you an A4 or M6? You have a good ET considering your relatively low trap speed (not a bad trap speed - just low for most 12 second time slips). Makes me guess you have a larger TC or gears.
