The first place to start is with a dyno run to see what you are packing for RWHP (rear wheel horsepower) That done, account for a 20% loss in the drivetrain for a conventional automatic. (what the dyno reads at the rear wheels should be about 20% less than what the rated spec at the crank is) To determine what you've lost...a compression and leakdown test is probably in order.

Hope this helps...Lee
