I am going to have a punt at 180-190bhp. Enough to have some fun in a RST bud.

I wonder why the spec sheet for turbo says it will do 220 at 23psi ..I always run turbos flat out that's how I like them so hopefully see 200 ..:

If you are going for max then swap out the rs500 cooler for as thick an airtec as you can get in there or better still the thickest spec r one that your wallet can handle.

TBH, I would say around 180-190hp, its difficult to say really, if its on a standard head and bottom end, I think you will need to keep ramping the boost up until either the turbo is on its limit, fuelling from the MFi is maxed out or the engine wont take any more boost efficiently....

I guess it depennds whos RR you use....im sure you could break 250hp if someone like Sabre Motorsports RR was used (as an example lol)

one thing to remember is MSD wont tune for numbers, they will tune so the car drives great and is reliable which can only be a good thing lol

Dont worry pal - You have plenty of time between now and then to lower your expectations to something more realistic.

going by the stage 2 turbo you should run over 200bhp if your mfi is supplying the fuel for the boost. I hit 210bhp with standard turbo but the fuel was too lean at 20 something psi. boost was put down to 18 psi and made 195.9bhp on standard engine build. Obviously running a front mount cooler to keep heat down etc helped. so going by my figures i would expect yours easily be in the 200's mate. My dyno was done by power engineering. I'm not sure how accurate the dyno's are there.
