By the way -- just asking to make a horsepower number doesn't really ever work out well if that's the ONLY criteria when building a motor. WHERE do you want to make that horsepower and where / when do you want to TORQUE to come into play are better real world criteria.
Know the cars weight - know the rear end gearing you PLAN to use - know the transmission... and tire diameters. How do you want to use the car... Daily driver super docile purr like a kitten - idling in stop and go traffic --- or sporty bad boy driven occasionally at a track. Or something in between. Ya need to really KNOW what you want in the engine manners department.... The HP number will be what it will be... and isn't nearly as important as the manners and use.
I get where you're going with that number -- you're really saying -- fairly mild streetable - my wife is going to drive it but it's still going into a hot rod.
