:iagree: It'd also help to know intake manifold but more importantly what type of exhaust system you have. :cheers:

While on the subject, is there an internet program that I can use to guestimate HP if I know the car weight & 1320 times?

has a program that will give you a rough estimate of your motor's horsepower by giving it your ET or MPH. To get a decent estimate of your motor's horsepower you would need to know the cam specs, compression ratio, intake, carburetor size and the heads (along with any sort of work done to them).
