It's pretty hard to tell, but you'll be better off getting a cam instead of a 52mm TB.

would it be a safe bet to say over 350 HP?

Really the only thing that's going to get you power there is the heads, the intake just allows for a better flowing head because the intake runners are higher so you can get a taller port on the heads. I'd say you'll still be under 350 crank HP unless you get a cam in with it. If you recam it, you can make over 350 crank HP on those heads easy.

Get a cam and forget about the TB, like slvr said

OR you can have "unknown mods" done and get an estimated 400 to the crank! Its all about setup and combinations. Take what youve got and find a place you can dyno, around here theres a place that will do it for 150 an hour i believe.

Such a broad question...it really depends on what you're trying to do with the car. A good bet is to contact Comp Cams and they can help you choose a cam that's right for you and what you want to do with it. You can try to describe to us what you want from the car and we can try to prescribe a cam, but Comp Cams knows what they're doing and they do it all day long. If you do contact Comp Cams you should purchase your cam from them as a courtesy for them helping you decide on what to get.

i want a car that drives good day to day but has more HP then most cars, not to much, not to little. i don't know how much that helps.(if i could have 400HP pluss or minus 10 and keep 23 PMG id be happy)
