Sam, you're going to make about 200 RWHP at the very most. You will most likely make about 185 rwhp. Your 1969 351W 4v came with 290 Bhp stock, which is around 230-235 NET hp at the flywheel. What kind of intake are you getting? And you're rebuilding the stock carburetor or is it an aftermarket one? With just those 2 mods (do you have any others?) you're not going to get a whole lot of improvement.

I have many, many more mods than you do and I'd be lucky if I was making 230 RWHP, not to mention 300!!!!!

And 2nd, 140 mph? I think you and your friend's speedos are whack. It would have taken your car FOREVER to reach a speed like that--over a mile. And you did this in town, from a stoplight, with other traffic? Hmmmmm.......
