I ran across this article today and thought others might like to read it. It talks about the HP ratings of original muscle cars as compared to those of today. Towards the end it uses the Boss 302 to illustrate the comparison. Interesting stuff!
The bottom line: Original Boss 302 about 240 net HP vs. the current Boss at 444.
Beyond the specific Boss comparison I found the discussion about using quarter-mile times and particularly speeds (including other factors) as a good estimator of HP.
