You are right. It is over 300. And that is on gas although NOS was mentioned.. All you have to do is the math.
There are formulas you can find on the internet that you can plug various parameters into and find horsepower required to go so fast in a car with a certain drag coeffecient and traction.
If you don't know certain parameters, there are"help"
features that you can guestimate with and come pretty close.

Oh, and in the HAMB thread of 3 years ago or so, he showed a picture of the supposed cam he was running and I made comment that it was a roller. He said it was a flat lifter grind. He either got his pictures mixed up or he was lying. The picture was of a roller cam.

Aside from that, 300 hp is quite possible (definitely not cheap) with either a flat lifter or roller cam.
