with a 6# fuel plate you can be getting anywhere from 200 to 300 hp and 600 to 900 lbs of torque. depending on the mileage, soot build up, etc. smokin is cool, but it dirties up that precious 12ver. *** it

Also there is an A/C line that the filter will sit on get some type of hose to cover it up.

From '94 through '98 the engine was rated from 160 to 215hp and slightly less with an automatic.

With a #6 fuel plate you're going to be above 200hp but below 300hp, and torque will be 300 to 900 ft/lbs.

Unfortunately Conner is right, and his post is about as accurate as you're going to get without it being run on a dyno.
