y13supio -> engine horse v.s. to the pavement horse (5/28/2006 11:53:11 AM)

hi, my neighbor has a 82-83 camaro w/ s.b. 350. he claims he's got 400 h.p. to the pavement............i know there are lots of variables, but how much horse power would a small block with no head work/ .030 pistons/ gear drive timing/ edelbroke intake&crb. w headers, auto trans. have to make to to put 400 hp to the ground? i was unable to get him to share his dyno info. w/me, if he even dyno'ed it. i've got a 79 z-28 w/bb th400 12bolt possi and i'm dying to get it back on the road i offered him a heads-up at the old seattle international raceway 1/4 mile. mine is pushing close to or more than 400hp. if i win, he gets to pick up his dogs poop in my yard, if i loose i continue picking up his dogs poop in my yard. but i would like to razz him a little until then. doesn't every componet on the way to the pavement eat up horse powers? i would love to tell him he would need about 500-550hp to put 400hp to the pavement, but i don't want to sound like him......an idiot. i'm just looking for a fair questimation.
thank you, Jon
