My guess would be around 500hp and 1100ft.lbs, if you find a dyno post up your numbers I would like to see what your putting down

515-525 but if you dyno try smarty and then without the smarty I would put money your smarty is hurting the power.

ive ran it with just the smarty or just the edge. it seems the smartys very powerful at lowend and the edge seems to be all top end. my injectors reelie made a huge differnce. for about a week i was riding aroud with stock ones and it reelie made me think i had made the wrong choice on a turbo. but now with those 150's that turbo screams, im still running stock head studs i give my headgasket a week. next is. hot rod vp44,cam,valve springs and port and polish. maybe some propane. trying to get 700 h.p outta the motor

Re-torque the factory bolts to 120 ft lbs and you should be good up over 60 psi boost. Pay close attention and if any of the bolts turns more than about 1/8 turn or so, replace it because it is stretching. That turbo should be helping lower the drive pressure as well.

700 on a vp you have some high goals. I hit 603 with my setup.

Just start fogging in everything you can think of, you'll hit 700HP. Longevity, that's a different story.
