83 gsl dyno run
I got a chance to put my 83 RX on the dyno in my mechanics class. Ive got a racing beat Header and exhaust, and a K@N filter and it laid down 92 HP @7000 rpm. The dyno can only read at 30, 50, and 80 MPH so I couldn't see what it had at 6000rpm, But it had 65HP at 4500rpm in third gear (50MPH). It was pretty cool though because my friend just put down a sad 106HP in his 79 350 Camero (which is around what most V8's put down) and another guy spun 97hp in his 91 3.1L V6 Cavelier.

My car is an 83 with a 12A rated at 100hp @ 6000 rpm at the crank. Id guess a stock 12A would put down 70hp at the wheels so the exhaust and filter must have helped quite a bit. It should have at least 120hp at the crank now and possibly 130.

A 120hp crank hp estimate would be a fair guess for his car.
