Default Power Total Guess

My mods seem to be working well for me, although I have only mimicked what other folks on here have done. I dont know anyone that has done this in my friend group to compare with. So, my questions are: 1. Is what I've done a good typical recipe as I think it is, and 2. Any guess as to what rear-wheel numbers I may estimate to have achieved? Thanks!

350
just a guess...

it's going to be a lot less than it could be if you ditched the HO pump and got an SO pump... HOVP44's are very limited to the fueling they can push out..

buddy of mine dyno'ed his 02 HO truck with just an edge comp and a boost elbow and only did 285hp @ rears.

when I had my truck on the dyno with just a boost elbow, straight pipe, adrenaline, and SO pump (stock for my truck) I did 362hp/882tq

SO pumps make a pretty big difference in power, especially when injectors and turbos are involved.

Thanks for the input! It had the HO pump when new, but it failed me before the truck's warranty expired. I dont know what Dodge put back on for me. Maybe I'll find a dyno somewhere and find out where Im at. Thanks for the guess!
