probably 10-11 hp . . . The chips aren't worth it IMO unless you've got a cam, heads, or a power adder . ..
k, ima hold off then, cuz my goal by next summer is to have a cam, roller rockers, intake manifold P&P, phenolic spacer, heads, CAI + throttle body, and UDPs. plus if i can get an internship at raytheon next summer ima shoot for a turbo and either a tranny swap to a manual or a rebuilt auto.

you should be set!
While you have the engine out, you can throw on a 2500RPM stall converter . .

Also just FYI a phenolic spacer does not add much ,it's poor bang for the buck.

Believe me you will be disappointed with only a 2500 converter.
That is just a little over stock.
It's 600 over stock, go to 3000RPM (only 500 more), and you start having driveability problems, overheating in warm climates, mileage drops, etc.
If you go with a 3000RPM, you should throw in a tranny cooler if you plan on keeping the car a while.
I put a 2500 one in my 68, and it was fine.

a throttle body spacer does nothing, an intake spacer adds 9hp/tq due to increased volume in the plenum.

Yeah but by the time it his the rear wheels it become poor bang for the buck especially on an auto .

7.5% increase for less than $100 is GREAT bang for the buck.
that's .105 hp per dollar
a programmer is .03 hp/dollar
42% underdrivers are .072hp/dollar twice as cost efficient than a programmer
a CAI is the same.
A GT takeoff with an h-pipe is .06
The only thing higher on the bang for buck scale is a drop in K&N style filter.
at .175 hp/dollar
