What was the net hp on the 69 325 horse I believe that is a gross figure or was that a net?

It is gross at the flywheel with no belt driven accessories attached, including the water pump and fan. The stock exhaust was not used either.

You can look at the diff between 70/71 and get somewhet of an idea
but if you have a better intake and headers, that bumps ya up a bit

I used to know a guy " don't so many stories start like this " that had some sort of formula for horsepower, rear ratio, tire size, weight, and he would tell you what your car should run in a 1/4 mile
was fairly close on my ride back then
