Go to 4lo.com, they have a calculator called "poor mans dyno". It uses 1/4 mile et, or 1/4 mile speed and the weight of your car to guesstimate HP.

Attached is the link to the dyno run screen. Looks like 429 ft-lb and 366 hp. The cam is limiting the upper rpm potential but sure gives good torque.

Note: The screen takes a bit to show up in the browser

Thanks for being patient, I finally got to run the engine. This time (including 1.6 rockers) I got 454 ft-lb and 378 hp. Also, there are a few assumptions I made (I assume this was a hydraulic cam, I used a 155cc Intake port and 76cc chambers with a 12.5cc dome piston). If you have any more detailed information let me know and I can run it again.

Thanks,

Ron
