Hard to say, any head work? what about cams? The best I can tell you is take her to a dyno and see for yourself.

Yep, absolutely no way to tell as it depends on how well it was setup and tuned, etc...

Only way to tell for sure is to put it on a dyno.

Any improvement you may have gained with the carb and intake you probably lost going with drag pipes.Unless you are running high rpms all the time.
