For a gas engine it looks to be about 360hp

I've had 590HP/525TQ in front of my 71c's (red tags) for years. My transmission builder said I was good with the components he put in it.

Likely running at higher rpm?

Transmission builder said he's put 700 consistently to them, but would only warranty 600HP I believe.
It's been 18 years and now they are behind 450HP. The least amount of power.
