I'd say depending on the gears you're around 16 flat. An easy way to check is do 70mph in D. If your tach reads 2730 rpms=2:73 and so on.

Those HP rating from crate motors usually include headers and either a free flowing exhaust or open headers. You'll be into the low 14s I would think with a 330HP motor w/the gears you have. But there are other variable that could come into play.
