With either of those superb GT Series turbo's you would get 580 - 620 BHP.
As for CR.....can of worms really..........some very well respected tuners on here would only do a conversion like that on 7.2:1.............
While others (Simon @ Norris Designs for example) would go the high CR route - i.e. almost standard CR...........As (*we think) he's done with Nick's engine (Bristol Group) that is fitted with the GT35/40R.
* Secret CR on this engine AFAIK
