bored .30 over with performance pistons
stage 2 comp cams,cam gears
edelbrock intake manifold
aem cold air intake

you dont have a tune on it. You have a basemap. Get it tuned, it isnt running right. A basemap will get you just good enough to run. Dyno it. If i had to guess between 120-140.

ok

i know stock its 140 hp so i would assume to be more than 120-140 it has to have a tune on it because it runs great its powerful.

stock is 140 crank. 120 wheel maybe with bolt ons. A gsr STOCK only puts down 140 to the wheels. Now expand on your tune...if you didnt dyno tune it then is it street tuned or did you just go to x shop and they burned a chip for you? Because if they did, that is not a tune, it is a basemap. A basemap is not a tune. A tune is going through the fuel maps rpm by rpm and changing the values of the basemap to YOUR specific motor. A basemap is just there so you dont blow your motor and are able to drive your car to get a dyno tune.

remember crank hp means nothing. Im fairly sure my car makes upwards of 200 crank horse power. what really matters is what its putting down to the ground. Also, dyno it with your slicks if you do drag racing or whatever, you want to dyno it using the wheels/tires you will be on mostly.

You're missing so much information on your build it is difficult for us to even make a bench racing comparison to similar builds. We don't even know your static compression ratio, what valvetrain you're using, what's your rev limit, what injector size, what header design, exhaust size, tb size, whether it has head work done or not, etc. Not to mention you have no idea if it has anything beyond a street tune (which- even if it is safe - will probably not be making the kind of power a good tuner will make on a dyno).

To give you a "rough idea", most NA non-VTEC builds I've seen have not broken 160 whp. A few very well-built B1's have done 170-180 from my recollection.

Where do you live? I'm sure someone can recommend a quality dyno tuner in your area, then you will know for sure.
