I have been away from the midget scene for a few years, but I think the Esslingers were in the 350 hp range. The Toyotas were supposedly over 400 hp, which is probably the low end. The Stanton SR11 were supposed to be around 375 when they came out as affirmed in this article:

Our speedway Chevy we ran in 2001 made 360 plus or minus a few every time it was freshened up. Granted that was way back when, I don’t even remember the cid of that motor.
