Trying to est. 1/4 mile, HP & TQ on chev 400
I recently built and installed a 400 small block in my 89 RS Camaro. Because it's still in the tuning phase I have not had a chance to take it to the track yet or get it on a dyno and I'm wondering if anyone out their can give me an idea as to what you think the HP and TQ numbers might be and maybe an est. 1/4 mile time. (I understand I have to bring it to the track/dyno to really know but I'm looking for and est.)
Motor- 400 chev small block .040 over (408)
Keith black hypereutectic pistons. Lunati street race rods
AFR 195cc heads. 10.25:1 compression
Comp Cams Magnum 292 cam- Duration at .050 Intake-244 Exhaust-244
Comp Cams full roller stainless rockers 1.5:1
Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake MSD pro billet distributor
750 Mighty Demon carb
Car- 89 Camaro- T5 trans- 3:73 posi rear end- Aluminum drive shaft
If anyone out there is running a similar setup or has any est. please throw them out, or if you have suggestions on different things to improve my setup I would like to hear those as well. Thanks!

I would estimate the race weight to be around 3600, but honestly I have not had it on a scale so thats just a guess.
For HP at the rear wheels I would say maybe 400-450, but again that was part of my question because I'm not exactly sure what to expect from this setup. I know 400s make good numbers but I'm not sure where my combo will fall

Does anybody else have a similar 400 setup out there that could give me an idea on numbers?
Thanks in advance
