About 30 hp difference, but you should get a good feel from the car anyway

There are a lot of factors. A 95 model car has probably got its fair share of miles on it so its past matenience is very important to how the car will run now. Gearing is also a big deal. The truest was to tell is to check the RPO codes in the glove box. Look for either a GU5-3.23's, or a GU2-2.73's.

I can pin it at 60 and it'll be felt, but I don't think it'll throw anyone in the back of the seat. I only have like 302/304 at the wheels though... I think once the headers go in, the torque shall be felt. :-)

If you want a kick in the pants feel... N20!! hahahaha

Cam and headers... that'll make people **** themselves.
