Thank you. Happy Memorial Day to all the VETS out there!!! I am a VET also.

Probably gross HP, not net. Not out of the realm of reality. "Estimate?" Slap it on a dyno and know for sure, otherwise it's just an uninformed guess. My 1969 Chev 307 was rated at 200 gross HP with a 2-barrel and single exhaust. Sorry, don't really know anything about the C4.
