Default Horsepower predictions

Well in a few weeks I will be getting all the money I need to finish my supercharger kit. I was wondering what type of horsepower and torque you guys think I should get with the setup Im going to have.

Vortech V2 supercharger
40lb injectors
svt focus fuel pump
Cx racing intercooler
3.12 pulley
steeda power pipe
lightning 90mm maf
and anything you see in my signature

Im going to get it tuned at OCD customs in brea.

345-360's for torque and upper 370-410 for power.

Temperture, Tuning, and The Dyno itself, all have a big effect on what kind of numbers your car puts down.

What is the boost that a 3.12 pulley will give? If its the 8psi pulley, probably around 370ish power and 350ish torque. if its 10psi, look for over 400rwhp and right around 400rwtq.

I actually live in Brea. I live like 5 minutes away from the place.

What pulley size would you guys suggest to get around 420-430hp and around 400 pounds of torque? Im pretty sure my engine should be able to handle it for a about a year until I can get a better bottom end for the engine as I only have 18000 miles on the car.

I don't really think it matters how many miles you have on the car. Whether it's a brand new car off the show room floor or it's a 120,000 mile long block, going over 400hp is a gamble.

You are going to need to pulley up to 3.33" pulley higher if on a stock motor with that combo assuming stock heads and no headers. You will be pushing 12 psi will be close to 400 - 420 rwhp.
