well my next door neighbor has a 70 boss with a 351, well the outside looks nice but i when he takes off i can't hear the motor he won't let me look under the hood and there's no badges on the car i don't know if it's a sleeper , well my question is how much hp does a boss 351 and how bad would i get rapped in my camaro?

Boss 351s were first made in '71, not '70. I'm not sure if you're IDing the year wrong or if its an imitiation - I know several guys who put the 351c(the motor in the Boss 351) in their '70s and badge it a Boss 351. If it is a 351c and they guy actually knows what he's doing with the motor, it should be very very fast. 400rwhp is not difficult, 500 is still streetable, and put a blower/nitrous on it.. you get the idea.
However, if he doesn't really know the motor, its likely its not very fast. The motors are very picky.. not forgiving for any mismatches.

What does your car run in the 1/4?
I figure it would be close, good job.
