your probably near 400 because your truck has a 215hp pump i've heard of people making 400+ with the stock turbo and stock injectors, easily with a 215pump. where is your timing set?

I can't see what turbo you are running, but I would agree with the 400 number. I was hoping for 400 with a very similar setup and made 485.

Stock turbo kept me under the 350 mark, too hot. But I "hear" alot of stories about guys making 400 on a stock turbo.. Probably not for long though!!!

Could you possibly not contradict yourself in your own sentence,sheesh.

ajoebob....
I'd say from what I have seen strapped at my shows for numbers,I'd bet 350-400.IF you get much more than that with the stock HX35 then your going to be plenty toasty and heat will kill your top end numbers.If you spin it 3 times in a row the first should be your best roll and then the hp will fall off due to heat and the torque will elevate.Of course that is if your dyno operator can give you the best shot on the first run......Andy
