Your car is about 20 years old. Depending on mileage, maintenance, whether it has a tune, Cold Air Intake etc... will effect horse power.
If it's completely stock after 20 years, I would say your getting between 195 to 205 HP.
That's a guess, but age and wear take a toll on HP. The only way to find out for sure is to put the car on a Dynamometer (Dyno machine).
In my opinion, it's not worth it unless you intend to modify your performance or race the car. Just drive it and enjoy it.
