Depends on what setting you are running the edge on. There are no dynos around here so whenever some kid in a rice burner tries to race me I just estimate how many HP his car has and how much it weighs then do the math. For example: Ricer 2500lbs @ 220HP = 11.36lbs/hp. My truck: 6720lbs/11.36 = 638.88HP. Then you have to estimate your drivetrain loss so use 20% and you are ~511RWHP. Hopefully someone who dynos a lot will chime in. You could always just do the same thing with stock HP + estimated upgrade HP - 20% or whatever drivetrain loss you think you have.

I'd say that's about right, I've got about the same set up as you but with the Vin C 305HP engine, and estimate that I'm somewhere around 500RWHP. I think the Rhino liner definitely adds about 20HP though reduced drag .

Last year i dyno'd with real close to your current setup. edge on 5, stock injectors/ turbo whatnot and 37" tires. I had 388/765. You might put down a hair more with smaller tires. But not all dyno's are created equal, they vary.

I am definitly thinking that the Arson III is going to be my next purchase. Is that one of the best/highest performing kits out there for rebuilding a CP3? I have plans to get pretty extreme with my truck in the next year or so.
