We've been looking at a video for a few months of a dyno run of a basically stock DZ302 that had a run of 530HP @ 8,500 RPM. The old 302s would turn in excess of 7,000 RPM right off the production line, don't take my word for it, ask any of the 28,103 owners that bought one '67-'69.

Have read it through the years in numerous publications.
Within the last month or so a magazine (Super Chevy) built numerous small block chevy's to original spec's and the 302 was around 350HP. And yes it was mid to top end HP. Very stout, however it just show today's V8's rule (and they get better mileage).
For the SCCA racing 302 I'll let you google and find the info.
