I think they are asking if you know your compression ratio. If you or you engine guy cc'd the heads and you know what head gasket you are using, we can get close.

I'm sure it's a stong runner. You could say it's a 500 hp enigne and be safe.

I personally feel whp is the best way to speak about what a car's engine is producing. How about doing it in true New Yorker style and have it dyno tuned?

For now, got a video of that thing? I'mm sure it sounds great with the cam!

I think you'll break that box when you hit the gas. Good Luck!
