I was curious as to how much a RB20DET can put out in stock form. I'm talking about everything down the bone with possibly an exhaust, dp, and an increase in boost. Thanks.

Thanks alot . Just wondering, but how many lbs of boost do I have to be running in order to achieve the 240 to the wheels? Also, any ideas of what the car will run in the 1/4 with this much power (just a ball park figure).

Yea, 240hp is about right in stock form at 12-13ish psi, I heard of one guy having 250hp at 14psi, but he probably had a tune, but he had basic upgrades (intake,3 inch exhaust, 300zx fuel filter,stage 3 clutch)..........

Thanks for the replies. After my car gets it's maintenance done, I'm going to crank the boost to 12 and have it tuned at a local shop. Thanks again.

Well, I want to make sure that the car is running at it's optimal performance. It's not going to be hardcore tuning, as I'm running an SAFC II as a piggyback. I'm planning to strap it on the dyno, determine when I am running rich or leaning out, and adjusting as necessary.
