i have downpipe midpipe how much horsepower???

i have a stock intake system, but i have a downpipe and a midpipe in place, with a stock muffler, i'am wondering how much horsepower am i generating?????? the other question i have is when you guys race what rpm range to go at in first gear??? and do you guys have the gas pedal all the way down or what????? because you see i cant floor the pedal all the way down because my boost jumps from the 12 pounds to 15 pounds, and i dont want to do that.

I dont know about the horespower, but i was wondering something. Do you have boost creep with the downpipe and midpipe combo? Is it really bad or not much boost creep at all?

I hope you have an ECU upgrade or you are well on your way to blowing your motor. I would remove the midpipe, which should reduce your boost.

get an ECU upgrade or find some way to keep the boost at 10 PSI before you even think about gettin' on the gas.

Boost is even harder to control (even with a ecu) with a midpipe in cold weather and I see you live in cold weather. There's a few things you could try - boost pill, pop-off valve, boost controller, but with a mp you should definitely have a ECU. Swap if for a hi-flo cat and you'll be fine. A dp is usually good for 15-20 rwhp and a midpipe will get you even more but at higher rpms (above 6K) so you probably have around 245-265 rwhp or so.
