Default What's your HP guess?

I have listed my motor specs below, after talking with a few people I have gotten very different answers

LQ4 with complete rebuild
stock pistons
compete head and 3 angle valve job
317 heads milled .35
Texas speed 224 224 112 cam
Ceramic coated black hugging headers
Once motor in buggy it will be strapped to the rollers for a custom tune.

So my guess is 415HP at CRANK .

What do you think

The compression will be slightly lower than I'd like to see, but the milling will help and so will your cam choice, but I'll guess 450 fwhp.....should have a real nice flat and long torque curve

I'm guessing you mean 0.035" inch mill which should reduce the combustion
chamber volume from 71cc to about 65.5cc. So at approximately 10 to one
compression and with the 224 bumpstick I agree that 450 flywheel or 380rwhp
sounds about right.
