Re: how can l know, how much horsepower do l have?

The most effective way is to have the car "dynoed". That is, run it on a chassis dyno. Rear wheel horsepower and torque are approximately 80% of "flywheel" (gross brake) horsepower and torque.

If you list the engine combination (complete) I can run it on a computer simulator and get within 5-10%.

Re: how can l know, how much horsepower do l have?

I would say your HP is probably around 260-265 RWHP and the torque is around 310 ft/pounds.
At the wheels.
And as long as the car is running properly.
