So no I don't think it will make 950. I'm hoping to make a tad over 900.

Jason,
I think you might be surprised at what hp you end up making. A dry sump will make very little, if any more power then a good vacuum pump set up and the same with alcohol vs. gas. With both of my engines switching from gas to alcohol on the dyno, made very little difference in hp, maybe 2 or 3 hp. Torque was up on alcohol, but hp was a wash. The fact that you're running a .043 ring pack and have an iron block should more then make up those differences.
