Crank HP: 180-200
Crank TQ: 200-220
RWHP: 150-170
RWTQ: 180-190
That will also depend on how well your carbs are tuned, what they are jetted for and the amount of porting done on the intake as well as your cam's lift and duration and the engine's compression ratio. Also, your wheel power and torque will be affected quite a bit by what your rear gear ratio is. A 3.9 will yeild more power on a dyno than a 3.54 rearend.
I saw an L28 on a dyno. Rebuilt head with performance cam, tripple Webers, headers. 151 RWHP. not as much as I expected. The carbs could probably be tuned better for peak hp. Maybe he had them running lean for better torque. You tend to see a lack of low rpm power with tripples. I have no idea what rearend he was using.
