Default Amount of boost to make around 4-420hp?

Hey boys I'm goin to get a quote on a turbo kit from my shop next week and want to know what spring i should get in the wastegate to get me to around 4-420hp? I don't have the money to build everything in the drivetrain yet, but I know these cars will handle 400 for a while...long enough for me to get some $$.

So with my setup (forged motor, TFS 44cc, Hitech stage 2s, Eddy/6061) How much boost do you think i could run?

My buddy has a Meth kit that he may give me too...but idk. What do you all think?

You could make that power on 6-8 psi is my guess

With that killer motor setup you will probably make 400+ rwhp on 6 psi

It will be probably a 70mm turbo..sorry forgot to include that lol. Do you think an electric cutout would help?

(plus sound really badass) haha

Not sure.

Seems like cut outs on these 4.6s dont ever help with power.

But once you start pushing some more boost it might.

It cant hurt.

I agree, with a stout h/c/i setup it shouldnt take more than 6-7 psi to push that kind of power. Do you have supporting fuel setup?

I don't right now...that will be included though. Im tryin to decide if i want to just throw in a focus pump or just go ahead and do return style/twin walbro/ 60lb injectors and call it done.

Can you even run 60lb injectors if you're not puttin them through some serious power??

yeah, if you are going return style than yeah you can. Would just hate to see you go small on fuel, decide to up the boost a month later and have to do work twice, ya know
