Default Opinion on how much horsepower you think i will get

So i just built a Mopar 360LA for my 2nd gen dodge and im trying to estimate hp numbers cause theres no dynos around me that will put a truck on a dyno for some reason. It currently has a polished stock crank. I believe the crank is a slight upgrade from stock. Upgraded rods and ARP Rods bolts. 0.60 over hypertonic pistons. Engle HE3038AL 110 Cam. CRANECAMS Rockers. Elderbrock RPM Air Gap Intake ported to match heads. Elderbrock aluminum heads ported out. Also has shorty headers unknown brand. 750 4 barrel holley carb with slightly bigger jets.

There are horsepower estimators out there on the web, suggest you hit up one of those, you need a LOT more information to get a good number.

Just looking at it though, probably somewhere between 20 and 50 horsepower over stock.

1.5 or 1.6 rockers? 1.6 ratio and that cam is pushing it too close for me on stock Eddy springs.
Did it need slightly bigger jets? Bigger isn't always better, especially with a carb.
What compression?
20-30 over stock...Shorty headers aren't adding anything.

1.6 rockers. The springs arent stock but not sure exactly what they are cause my dad did that part. My dad also did the jets because hes built enough drag cars that if he says something needs done then in my mind it needs done. it is 11:1 compression i believe.

This is my first ever engine build that im building for power rather than reliability. So im still trying to figure things out. My dads helping with most but still learning! I plan on putting a little turbo on it later on but right now no

I would not put a turbo on an 11:1 compression engine. Good way to launch heads.
