I'm not sure what these mods would push the boost to - but it should be a 'known'. Anyone 'know'?

Guess I better add a boost guage to the list.

I would hope. Would be nice to see what it comes out to.

Stock being around 215 RWHP I think 260 might be high with those mods but I hope so.

well, with a 103k engine/turbo w/ dp and cb i did 242, so with the intake and (i'm assuming) healthier engine i'd say 260 is realistic.

Those are the numbers for a new car or new engine with strong running turbos, it be rare if it's running perfect right now, I be surprised if after 8 yrs it's pushing 200 RWHP stock.

My engine/turbos are in good shape, but are 127K and 9 years old! I don't expect the high end of the numbers.

So, what could - say 250 RWHP - get in the 1/4? 0-60?

93 with mods

These were my mods before mine went sour. Hks intake, stillen down pipe,custome cat back with universal ractive muffler,and a used f-con. I made 268 to the rear wheels at 9 pounds of boost. Thats all i could get the turbos to boost had no boost controler. But it didnt last much longer with 76 though on her. So it is posible to get a desent wheel number with bolt ons.

But now i have a street port motor for single turbo. T78,E6K, greddy 4 core engine mount intercooler,intank pump,inline helper pump, fuel rail injectors,of corse new down pipe,and a nother new no more cat exaust. What kinda horspower do you think i can get know i will turn it at 15 pounds this time?

Well... Max, I recently went to LACR for the first time. Between spinning my wheels, bogging the car, or missing third gear I didn't do that well. All my runs were in the 15s with my best being 15.3. The 2,700 ft elevation wasn't helping either.

The mods listed above are my 'plans'. I only have the intake so far.

I believe I'm going there tomorrow (10/11) and it would be GREAT to have some more 7 company. Let me know.

I can see why you would think that... and you may be right.

BUT, this car was babied through 126K by its only other owner, which was an older lady. (Original clutch, still grabs great!) As the second owner, I'm still treating the car very well, but I do like drive it hard.

There are some normal wearable items that I have had to replace (hoses, radiator, MOP, primaries) but the engine compression and turbos have checked out great at TriPoint.

I try to console myself by thinking that IF I did end up needing a rebuild some day, it would be an opportunity for upgrade.
