280 give or take, depends on mileage and a chip would help.

Yeah, your leaving out some factors to help estimate HP. But yeah, dyno tuning would probably be your best bet

300 to the wheels. What transmission do you have? Stock auto's are around 240 rwhp and 6-speeds are 250rwhp or so. Right now I agree you are around 280rwhp with mods.

i'm sorry to tell you this but gettin it professionally dyno tuned and not spendin alot do not go together!! most dynos charge about $50-100/hr + tuner, dependin on the tuner it all depends on how long its gonna take, so ur prolly gonna be spendion ~$300-600
