I missed the thread, but a recent data point is my
buddy Jeff  Porasik's .030 over 1275 that is probably
comparable to an FP engine - 
1275 .030 over
13:1 compression ratio
LCB header
1.5" SUs with prepped manifold
Head ported by West Allis machine
1.5 ratio roller rockers
Rimflo valves
He got 89 HP at the wheels, probably 105-110 at the

his car is as fast in a Grattan straight drag race as
the alleged 130HP Sprites (a lot faster than mine. 
Thank God for turns).
