power estimates

What power do you think this could achieve

Iron heads 170cc intake runners, Outflow Camelhump "fuelies"
Speed Pro (Federal-Mogul) Flat Top HP Pistons
Forged 5.7" Rods, Speed Pro (Federal-Mogul) Rings
Crane/Clevite 292 (duration @.050" 230I/230E, Lift: .480"I/.480"E, Lobe Seperation: 109) Hydrallic Flat Tappet High Performance Camshaft
Clevite Lifters
Elgin High Performance Valve Springs
Melling Pushrods
Professional Products Power Plus High Performance 360 Degree Aluminum High Rise Single Plane Intake Manifold
Carter 750 cfm Carb
HEI Distributor (with HP advance curve)

The car will have an automatic trans with true dual exhaust that will have an x-pipe and 2.5 inch piping, no ac, no emissions

If i left an vital info out let me know, otherwise take a guess at it. Thanks.

I put it into an engine analyzer program and came up with 355 lb/ft torque and 338 hp. I'd take that with a grain of salt though. That was with standard dyno running conditions as well (60 degrees/no humidity/at sealevel). Basically, this will probably be the most power you'd make. I also didn't know what compression you were running. I used 9:1. Also, the specs I put in weren't exactly what your engine has. Again, grain of salt.

Thanks man, the compression ratio is 9.5:1 if your wondering and the reason i ask this is because i dont know if they guy is tellin the truth about it. He doesn't have proof of it but he said the engine alone will make 375 to the crank. But i guess i will have to wait and see when i dyno it.
