15 HP.

No, no, that can't be right. Make that 1500 HP.

Still doesn't seem right somehow. Oh well, somewhere in between most likely.

As many times as you keep asking this question over and over again, it seems like you must really want to know. All anybody out here can do is guess.

Quit asking this, and go dyno the car. All else is just a guess. If you want that bad to get the truth, go get the truth instead of a bunch of guessing.
