    How long is a piece of string, there is so much bullsh!t slung about engines without knowing whats inside it. A ball park guess @ the fly would be around 370hp & 400ft-lb torque.

    With actual info of the following I could give you a computer calulated flywheel estimate.
    Bore & stroke
    Head info including porting, valve sizes, airflow
    Compression ratio & combustion chamber size
    inlet manifold used
    exhaust
    camshaft, lift for inlet & exhuast, duration, lobe centre, valve overlap, timing, lifter type. If its a hydrolic cam, solid or a roller.

    cheers
