Lawrie all of the supercharged street Flatheads i build easily see 300 HP at the 276 cubes using modern ideas. Im sure your numbers are pretty accurate possibly maybe a touch conservative. One question would you know the elevation your running the rail at? As you know that makes a difference due to the thin air at higher elevations which will also effect economy but allows for using lower octane gas.
