RE: Horspower Guestimations??
Considering its going to be my daily driver, with the wife and the 2 and 4 year old strapped in every now and then I was not looking for a crazy street machine, only a dependable, durable, (decent on gas mileage), great running engine.. And I think that once I get the damn thing to start, that is what I will have. I was very excited just driving it with the stock cam and no oil pressure, so I can almost say that I will be very pleased with the motor being nice and freshened up..
But,, I do allways think "man,, why didnt I go with the rpm cam??" I dont care though,, as long as it runs good, Im not into street racing or burning the tires off.. Just want a good, dependableengine..

Well I was under the impression that we were talking about HP at the flywheel, just as an engine would be set up on a dyno....
I will agree with this statement, no engine in the world will make that car generate any fwhp at all, without major revisions to the car....

and no way it will make 400 fwhp
I hope I'm wrong but I seriously doubt that thing would make any more than 220 rwhp. If we are (were) talking 250 stock, and stock meaning gross, no accs, flywheel rating.
