I'm guessing it will make around 450-475rw which isn't bad at all for as old as that setup is. A new tune, get rid of that FMU, some new injectors and it should crack 500rw pretty easily as long as the head unit is still making boost and there is no issue with any seals.
There is still some cool car shows coming up before the end of the year we can hit up and there is always Kellers on Saturday nights.

Not wanting to push to much power don't want to have to build a dart block 331 stroker yet, but if she does blow that's what I'm doing. The block only has 42k miles on it so I want to make it safe and cruise.

With my 93 Cobra, I saw much better improved drivability and idle quality when I finally tuned it and ditched the FMU. But you will be fine until then, may have to put up with a lil surging here and there. Other than that, keep the RPM's down like I said before. Those FMU's can be a lil sketchy and the only thing in that that FMU keeping your motor alive is that lil diaphram. So don't blow it it out of there! lol.

Around 7-8pm is the best time to arrive at Kellers. Anything past that the parking lot gets full.

Yes. It's the longest standing car GTG in DFW. All kinds of hot rods show up there to hang out. It's decent burgers and beer too.
