I have a 305cc briggs and stratton with a gross torque of 13.50 on the wood splitter, is that about a 8 horse power?

I canot speak to ALL engines, but I'm not sure you can extrapolate HP from displacement and/or torque. There is probably a decent relationship between the 3 but I don't think there is an exact ratio you could use. Admittedly I know little about splitters and chainsaws, but 2 strokes is 2 strokes......I think.
If it happened at the max rpm I've seen most briggs run at of 3500 rpm...
(13.5 * 3 500) / 5 252 = 8.99657273hp

Matt I did get some info from the company on the motor ( 305cc replaces the 8 horse power) also it is 16 gallons per minute according to American CLS but I have to get him some serial numbers just to verify his info.

It sounds like the torque number happened at a lower RPM than 3500. It was just a guess based on the max rpm I've seen Briggs engines run at. It's probably better to name a torque value. By spinning the engine faster you can really change the numbers.
(13.5 * 3 100) / 5 252 = 7.96839299
