Horse power guesstimations

The carb was worked over before i bought the car. I was told that it flowed 1020 cfm,s??? I have a hard time believing that, so i got the QFX 1050 just in case.
The 6-pak rods are heavy. I shift at 5800 and go though the traps at about 6300.
I see what you mean about crapping my pants, sorry i didnt get it at first.
I hope this will put me in the 10,s. But i guess it does not matter as long as it holds together.
