That should put you in the 300whp range but all depends on how much boost and tuning you do, plus with this kind of turbo, not sure if you will max out your 460cc injectors on big boost.

Sounds like an interesteing setup.

Trig, you're good for 450whp if tuned correctly and you're not a wuss at cranking the boost.

Nick,

You are good for about 280-290whp @ about 17psi of boost. Your injectors and your engine management will be tested and those injectors will be the achilles heel.

Your set up sounds like a 300whp deal, but I have yet to hear anyone toy around with an emanage and 660cc injectors, let alone it be on a CA. You don't have many chances with raggedy tuning and you can take that to the bank. Unless you are familiar with the emanage and have all the necessary tools, steer clear of it. Again, 270-300who is possible, but your engine management will test you tremendously.

Ill get bigger injectors later and get it tuned but thats about the only thing holding me back. What about some ~780cc injectors at 20 lbs tuned well?
