Default What will these mods do for me?

I currently have an 02GT that makes 410hp with a vortech/powerpipe/3.33 pulley and meth inj. Im gettin ready to do some more things and i have a few questions. Im gonna go with a front mount intercooler of some sort (not sure on brand). Im also gonna do some l/t headers and a innovators west 10%od crank pulley. What do you guys think my car will make with those new mods?

also, what fmic have some of you guys used?

Bob is great! Not only does he tune but he also does installs and you can order any part you want threw him.

i would say in the 430 mark, but are you still on the stock block, the intercooler i used was a cheap ebay one, cx racing i think.I also had to get a BAP and a bigger MAF after i put the intercooler on. Whats your set up now, as far as BOV and psi you running

Yeah I'd say between 430-440 but be careful you are getting awfully close to the danger mark for the stock block!

Your car would make a big BOOM noise. Followed by some fluids being spilled and some smoke coming out the exhaust and dollar signs in your mechanics eyes. But before it would make a boom noise you'd be looking at probably 440-450 seeing that 1lb of boost would equal 14hp(from what ive been told) and you'd probably get 3lbs more of boost.
