depends on the air, but yes, 1440-1500-ish is my educated guess also.

Well, this has gone nowhere fast

With such minimal performance advantages, I doubt we would get any closer than that in such a close class

If you could find a Dyno that wouldn’t scatter to test one, then we will know what they decide to tell us what it is, good luck that with being accurate

My naturally aspirated 777 ci Sonny's hemi dyno numbers were just under 1,800 hp (I don't remember the torque numbers) that I ran in my Rick Jones pro stock Camaro in Top Sportsman 5 years ago. I ran it through a torque converter and a 3 speed B&J, shifting it under 6,500 RPM. It wasn't run necessarily for et and speed, but for consistency, and ease of maintenance. It ran a best of 6.59 at 209 at 2,350 pounds with a lighter driver in it. I'm 6'4" around 275, and with my big butt in it, I ran 6.67 with it, with a best speed of 207.
I only mentioned this because it's amazing how legal pro stock cars with 350 less horsepower can outrun what I had, simply because they keep it in the power range through gearing and RPM on the whole run, meaning they're extremely efficient. I could go the whole weekend, only peeking under the valve covers once or twice, just add fuel. Pro stock cars are a lot more maintenance.
