can someone give me a general idea

My first car is a 92 camaro rs with the lo3. As a learning project i pulled the motor apart to up the horses. I put on pre87 heads that i ported and polished, crane cam rocker arms, edelbrock intake manifold,hedman headers, msd 6al ignition box,msd pro billet distributor,msd blaster coil 3, msd 8.5mm ignition wires, edelbrock 600cfm carb, 3.73 posi rear, and a t56. Can anyone tell me what my top speed might be close to and what i might run in the 1/4 mile. I do not know the horses because I live in southern nj and i don't have any idea where the nearest dyno is. Also, i cant run the 1/4 mile yet because im only 16 and i dont think atco accepts learners permits to race

Re: can someone give me a general idea

No, no one can give any kind of guess because you haven't given us any information.

Ignition stuff allows the car to run, it won't really add much power. You didn't say WHICH edelbrock manifold you used, or even more important, WHICH heads, and WHAT cam are in there.
Cam and heads make the power, everything else you listed it just along for the ride.

Do you have a catback system? You should have went with 45 more cubic inches while you were at it
