well its not going to be for long but a engine with 120,000+ miles and a daily driver, i don't want to push it.. I will be starting a new engine build coming up soon and then the psi will be brought up. oh and i still haven't got an answer.

The last known ratings were 171.76hp and 198.12tq at the wheels. that was before the windstar and the 8.5 mm wires and the Accel coil pack and the tune.

5.7 psi with twins could make 300+ hp, really no way to tell without doing it. I don't know if your motor is gonna survive the dyno time however. Maybe you should build the motor then buy the turbos.
