Default how much power???

What kind of horsepower and torque do you guys think I'm making? I know my big limiting factors are the turbo and HO pump but I'm just curious...maybe a hot 425?

For around $50, you can hit a dyno around your neck of the woods for 3 pulls. It'll be more accurate then bench racing.

That's not a bad price, local shop charges $140 for 4 or 5 pulls, or an hour. Depends on demand.

I plan on getting on the dyno this spring. Just curious as to what kind of numbers I can expect to see at best.

how hot do you get? I ran pretty warm with some ddp 200's and a my 62/71/14 I am surprised you haven't had major issues. I would say if you dyno with smarty and then without you will see if the smarty is worth it or not.

I would guess your probably pulling around 425-450.. your turbo is kind of holding you back in my opinion. get a HTB2 or a Phat Shaft 62 on there and youll bring your HP numbers up and your EGTs in the safer zone.

I get VERY hot. The 1600 degree pyro is burried in less than a quarter mile and that was before the smarty and hot unlock. Looking at an S465
