Question what kind of rwhp with my current setup?

I searched long and far but did not get any answers on here or via google searches and youtube searching. I’m currently running a LQ4 motor with stock 317 heads so im at at the 9.4:1CR. I’m running a 232/238 0.599”/0.600” with full bolt-ons. Running a 3200 stall with 3.73 in the rear. A majority of my findings were that people who run the LQ4 swap heads to bump the compression up or those who run the stock 9.4:1 don’t do any dyno or track runs and go straight into a super/turbo setup.

My only track run with this setup was a PB of 12.8@113.7mph but with a 2.25 sixty footer and shifting early at 6000RPMs(command at 5900) w/29* of timing w/12.6 AFR. No dyno numbers yet, but will soon once the weather warms up. I also bumped the RPM shift points to 6200s so hoping the actual shifts at ~6300-6400. so hoping to be able to trap at least 114-115mph.

So what kind of horsepower numbers would be a guesstimate of where the car’s at? Possibly ~350rwhp?

btw i will be going FI at some point as well

your guess of 350rwhp is probably pretty accurate

what does the car weigh? figure that out and you can plug numbers into a calculator on Wallace Racing to figure it based on ET or MPH
