Ive wondered about how many horsey's my car has. Ive seen all the websites that you plug in your 1/4 mile et and such, but seeing how my speedo is kaput it does me no good......
Im looking to get a rough estimate. Just so I can brag to these ricers and their 120 HP Hondas....
Heres what Im running:
350 bored .040 over (Total CID 358)
Mellings RV cam. (Low end power, dont know specs on Cam, got engine from a buddy)
'Brock 650 CFM Carb, Performer Intake
True Dual exhaust, cherry bomb mufflers, headers.
Excell ignition
Blackout tail light covers. (Cause we know that stuff makes a car mad fast, yo.....)
From what I see from crate builds and such Im guessin in the 310-340 HP range? (Which I of course round up to 350 when I tell my friends.....)
Any guesses?

Thanks. Confirmed what I was thinking.
Now if I add a bunch of asian symbol stickers and some plastic stick on carbon fiber look alike accessories, I could add what, another 100, 200 HP?
The Chrome fire extinguisher might actually give me warp speed like 'Fast and Furious'.....

Whatever your HP/TQ guess is try reducing it by 30% and you will have a better estimate.Also asking others to confirm your guess just compounds the the error. People always think they have a lot more then it is actually.
