depends on how wild you get, id expect a good solid 350-400 hp with a good tune with the hci combo. itll have massive torque! your gonna have traction issues. good luck

You should make some good power with it. My setup in my signature put down 315 horse and 356 FtLbs on a Land/Sea Inertia Dyno. Should put down mid 3's for HP on a Dynojet. I have NO traction with 265 BFG Street tires in first or second, sometimes going into third if I hit the gear hard and fast enough. You said limited budget, last time I checked HCI combo wasn't too limited. Espeically if the motor needs a rebuild. But as stated above, how extreme do you wanna get?
