Default Performance ? on my 86'

Well she goes in the shop next week for a complete rebuild. While there at it a performance cam is being added as well as forged al. pistons 60 over to stay with the 10:1.... Other then that the car is pritty much stock with the exception of a cat back, k&n, AFPR.....What kind of HP & Torque numbers should I expect :lurk:
