Does anybody know how much hp power a set of 6x0.016 in nozzles can support?

Conservatively: easily 400/800 or more (with supporting mods / fine print).

What would be a turbo to match these nozzles? S300?

A good set of 6x.016s will be a workout for just about any single turbo. For a street truck, twins are the way to go. The injectors will only be a small part of the overall cost to make use of the fuel. Also, you'll need to get your AFC working again, unless you want a crop duster.

What would be a better set? I'm planning to get a lager turbo, the pump worked on, lift pump, water meth from my buddy, head studs, valve springs and keepers, and beef the trans a bit more if not a 47rh and wanting to put all of it in at the same time.

You haven't said what you're gonna do with the truck.

Big-time racer? You're gonna need a large single turbo to support what the 6x16's can provide. That's gonna be very laggy on the street. A moderate twins set-up as a minimum to keep it reasonably drivable on the street.

If you're wanting the W/M for added power, and as a result run a 50/50 mix, that's gonna run up the EGTs even more.

I run some Schied 6x.016s with an S362/14 over an HT3B. A big IC, ported head, cam, etc. They keep the straight #2 EGTs relatively in check (1300* ~ 1400*F) in a sustained WOT. A moderate shot of 50/50 W/M pushes the EGTs on up over 1500*F in short order. I really need more air.

Good luck with your build.

I'm going to be pulling with it once maybe twice a year, but if my main truck breaks down, I would still like to be able to drive it to school and work. I'm not wanting something that smokes just at idle but would still like to have some power under the hood. I'm not trying to make a copy of project rust bucket, but some power would be nice for a good pull

Well, I think everybody loves a full pull, but i doubt i would make it that far, but i wouldnt want to be at the back of the pack . There are a couple of guys around here have some old fords and chevs that arent really to mean when the get hooked to a sled that i can keep up with. This last year when i pulled it i ripped my reese hitch out and moved the sled like 10 feet
