   Depends what's been done to the head, and what spec cams, etc, etc...
   
   Is it on stock intake?

   without knowing what cams you have exactly, its like asking whats the bhp of your car without giving a model

   OK, so they are likely to be the PH3 Newmans' then. It won't be running 170 bhp, that's for sure. But if it's in good nick, and you add a decent exhaust system with no CAT, and also a good exhaust manifold, you should hopefully see close to 160 bhp if the ECU has been mapped.
