Default Guestamate of my HP

Hi,

I'm just getting my 390FE back from the machine shop after fixing a few things and adding a few more things.
It would be nice to have an idea of what HP to expect so the build is

re-bored 390FE with +60 Hypereutectic pistons
Ford 390 heads 71cc size
comp cam 282s grind (571 lift)
dove roller tipped rockers
re ground and balanced crank
skimmed and lightened fly wheel
some porting and polishing on the heads
Holly 750dp
Driving through a CR Toploader

I'm not much of a mechanic so I've done my best with this info.
I guess it's how it drives that matters but a basic idea would be nice.

Thanks

Paul
