Well what mods are you doing to yours? For mine I have intake, full exhaust, short shifter, but thats about it for performance and I haven't dynoed it yet but I would say I am somewhere around 130bhp which is what they are stock but I am taking into consideration the wear on the engine. I do a quater mile at 16.4 at 5800ft above sea level so that's about 15.6 at sea level with the nitrous I haven't ran it yet but should put me around 15.3 or so.

I'd bet 140-145 crank at best with those mods. (even after the headers are installed)

MAYBE 120 to the wheels if you are lucky.

Mines Dyno'd at 135.3@ 6500rpm.
Thats at sea level, with an HKS mega flow induction kit and a backbox only.
engines only just done 70,000miles.
i reckon with some proper NA tuning the k8 can do 150hp without major strenghtening

Thats gotta be at the crank, cuz she'd be hard to get that at the wheels. I'd say you'd get 110-115hp at the wheels maybe.
