good job OP, your car seems to be right on par with the power its making. im a 425 currently with 3.33 pulley, i/c, powerpipe, tb/plenum, o/r h, lm2's.

ALL bolt on 2v's using anything smaller than the stock vortech pulley should see 400+ rwhp (giving the dyno is calibrated correctly and have similar environment)


As jvog said, "how much boost" is not the correct question to ask as every turbo or sc setup can see different numbers with the exact same mods.

thanks man, i thought i was going to see much lower numbers with my setup but the first pull exceeded my expectations and the last 2 just had my jaw dropped lol. how is your car holding up with 425? i know my throwout bearing is already starting to give lol.
