im assuming your truck is an auto tranny? if so, based on your signature and compared to a baseline done on a dyno of stock truck from the same year, your baseline rear wheel number is probably around 150-165 hp, 350-400 ft lbs, with what is in your signature and no tranny upgrades, i would venture to say somewhere between 240-290 rear wheel hp and 600-750 ft lbs.

now before you say what the factory rated it at, let me remind you that the factory rates the hp and torque at the flywheel, one usually sees a 30-35 percent loss of power through an auto, a tad less through a manual.

What kind of boost can you make, and what color is the exhaust exiting the pipe?

I'd say your in the 325/725 neighborhood. you can raise boost 2-3psi more but then your out of turbo.

Id say around 300-325 depending on the condition of your VP44.
