How much power is my 318 making?

If my 318 runs 0-60 in 9.1 seconds (with no tire spin), how much power do you think it makes if its mated to a 904 transmission and 2.77 rear gears?

Completly stock.... but its seems pretty tired (blue smoke at start up), I was just wondering so I could compare it to the 440.

2 bbl stock cam and so forth?

You got me there, it has a 4 barrell carb on it, so its not exactly stock, but it has a stock cam.

You really think its producing 230 HP? My grand prix has 260 and it does 0-60 in 6.5, I thought that 9.1 would be a little bit slow for 230 hp... maybe the years took some ponies out of it....

what year is your grand prix?   the weight?  the transmission?  gears?   just curious, maybe your car has a couple advantages on the 0-60 time?  I don't know. 


Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

It is a 2005 Grand Prix GTP Comp G, weighs 3583 lbs, has 260 HP, and 280 lb ft from a supercharged V6, 4 speed automatic with tap shift, the comp G package added a lower 3.29:1 final gear and light weight wheels, it is a quick car (spins the tires at 35 mph). I know 36 years makes a difference, but I thought the charger should have been a little quicker with 235 HP and 340 ft lb of tourqe.
