I did it just for fun, but don't have the results handy. I used a rich mixture, like 12 to one, and used a brake specific fuel consumption of 0.60, as I remember. That got me about 300 hp from the 255 gps which is the max that the stock MAF will read. It also matched up pretty close with the capacity of the stock injectors. Obviously, you can get more power than that, by running leaner, using higher pressure to the injectors, etc. Probably somebody has this on a spread sheet.

You can calculate BSFC. Should make things a little more accurate. I don't recall it off hand. Maybe I can look it up in the Bosch Auto Handbook.
What heating value did you use for pump gas?
Actually I believe that most all gasolines have the same or similar Qhv, but it could get tricky if you try to figure for pump gas and alky. Volumetric Eff. requires a bit of work too, and I don't like thermodynamics that much.

Actually, there might be a more 'canned' version of these calculations that you're referring to. What method are you using? equation? links? talk to me.
