Your right, but I have bolt ons , cams and exhaust,intake. I figure stock rwhp is 195, with exhaust and TB/Plenum I gain about 20 hp, so thats 215. If you calculate 6% hp per 1 lb of boost, running 10 lbs (intercooled, power pipe will add 1lb, so 11 lbs), that equals 356rwhp.
With cams 384.

no id say more like 315 w/o cams and 330 with cams. id say youll gain 100 hp or so with the blower alone

Interesting. How did you come up with 100hp? Is my boost to hp calculation incorrect? This is important to me because I dont want to under power the car, but even worse would be to over power and start busting stuff in the bottom end.
Again I only question your response to see where I went wrong. I want to be very careful with this, there is alot of money involved, and I want to get it right the first time.

Again thanks
