Default "LQ9" in e30 bmw whats your guess?

Hello all I have an "LQ9" in my e30 bmw, what kind of power do you think it will put down?

02 LQ9 Fresh rebuild but has aftermarket dish pistons (previous owner) so in reality its an LQ4 with floating wrist pins. So the compression is a complete mystery.
Cleaned up stock 317 heads
TICK 227/235 .59 .52 110LSA
LS6 intake
Ported TB
4" intake
Fbody accessories
1 5/8" shorty headers
2.5" mandrel true dual with xpipe all the way back into dual 2.5 in/out muffler
M6
2.93 gears for now

You should be around 380hp to the tire. I think the shorty headers will hold you back a little.

Yeah I really wanted long tubes but that would require a complete custom setup. As is it barley clears the steering shaft.
