Thanks James. Squared duh, I feel stupid.
According to the folio in the NG pictorial by Grant: (This folios is for 340-347 , and RGS 40-41 so it should be the for the new boilers)
The total heating surface is 926.3 sq-ft
15 on the grates
830.1 for the tubes
81.2 for the firebox
And yes they can accelerate the train quite easily, and fast.
