Default HP? guesses thoughts.

Can anyone make a guesstimate of my hp? I know this is really impossible to measure without a dyno. The reason I am asking is because I am trying to match my injectors to my HP and future mods.. Here is the state of my Mods.
I know some are not HP parts, I just have them listed in annother signature..
Thanks for any responses,
Guch

I am running such high pressure to attempt to compensate for only running the 19 pound injectors. ( until i can figure out which ones I should go to ). Boost I should be anywhere from 8-10 with the V2 Sq, but the gauge I just installed is hard to read.. looks like 6- 7 getting some belt slippage.

Iam not sure what injector size is good for that amount of horsepower, but whatever injectoryou are running in your car should more thancover mymods.
Thanks for the help!

I doubt anyone's going to be able to give you a good estimate of HP with your mods, but even with only 8-10 psi from the vortech I bet your'e WAY out of range with only 19lb injectors.

30lb injectors would probably be fine, but you might as well put 42's on there and call it a day. Then you're good to well over 400RWHP.

Vert, thanks for the response. Actually the 19lbs injectors were doing the job beleive it or not...... ( plugs were pulled and all looked very good) . But I am going to be moving up to the 42's since I justfound thatI haveblow-by on aheadgasket not an actual blown headgasket which causes a overheating condition which made me think i was lean.SinceIwill be pulling the heads and intake I might as well upgrade to the TFS twisted heads, and track heat intake.. ( althoughI was going to do this down the road IREALLY could have waited ) ...
