289, aluminum heads, 4 door Fairlane, traction bars, C4, full interior and 3.80s mini spool, 205 70 R14.

crappy intake, ran best of 8.89 in the eighth.

Guesstimate on the power?

Assuming you weren't spinning, and a race-weight of 3500lbs, you're probably in the 290-300hp range at the flywheel. That's decent hp.

Is crappy the manufacturer, or the model of intake? I'm unfamiliar with it

Street tires make it nearly impossible to estimate with any accuracy.

21psi on the driver side rear, 20 on the passenger side. Very little wheelspin.

Ran a 9.2ish, spinning off the line and smoking them when hitting second.
