How much HP am i making?


I've got a 1988 mustang gt 5.0. I'd like to know how much flywheel hp it's making. It's got a few goodies from the previous owner. It has a posi rear end and 3.73's, but those obviously don't affect hp. Under the hood, it has a K&N intake, hypertech chip, headers, full exhaust system, and MSD distributor. The owner put the headers and exhaust system on, so I don't know exactly what they are, but the car is loud (sounds awesome so it was obviously upgraded, as the owner did tell me.
