By the time you get to the wheels, you've lost another 20 to 25 percent of your HP especially depending on transmission. They are ballpark estimates.


I got 376 hp at the wheels on a dyno running the J1349 standard with my 3600 lb 71 AMX . I wonder what it makes at the flexplate ? It went 11.05 @ 119.4 mph . It should break into the 10.9's this year . I drive it on the streets with 87 octane and race it with 94 octane pump gas .
