Default horsepower estimation?

Hey guys, new to the forum here. I got a Classic Motor Carraiges cobra with a 5.0 Mustang engine. Its from a 1991. It has a Holley 650 cfm four-barrel carb, Edelbrock aluminum intake, custom headers (made them myself, couldn't find any for side exhaust. Basically straight tubing), electric fuel pump, electric fan, etc. Basically no power loss from that stuff. I waa wodering what you guys think the crankshaft hp is and what the RW hp is (again, Mustang 5 speed with 4.10 gears.)

Any way to up the horsepower? I don't want to go with extensvive internal mods. I also very much want it to be naturally aspired (the ONLY way to go.) I am a mehanic, however, and won't mind switching carbs, intakes, heads, etc. to get more hp.

Thansk, I just wanted your guys opinions on HP ratings and how to increase them.
