Not necessarily. The late Euro 3.0 ('81-'83) had 9.8:1 stock compression, and the 20/21 cams are known more for raising the torque curve higher in the RPMs, than provide more horsepower.

Honestly, with this engine, the real horsepower is going to come from the early large port heads and SSIs. It'll be a nice deep breather.

With that said, I'd think 235-240 hp at the crank.
