What kind of WHP should I be looking for

Pistons are for pussy's
Power measurement also depends on the dyno. I tuned this december and got 400.08whp on stock twins at 17psi but that probably reads higher since it was a dynojet , and basically i have the same mods.
Streetport, PFC, full exhaust, hks twin power, hks intake, custom IC, rewired Supra fuel pump and race gas mixed with pump fuel.

IMO, as a lot of others', the first thing to make sure is that your car is running safe and cool enough. Water and oil temps are THE biggest issues I've found. After 25 row Sakebomb dual oil coolers and a Koyo rad w/ M2 large SMIC, it's now safe... or at least it should be.
Second, it's important to be able to control even 290 horses at any circumstances, which actually isn't easy at all. Without skills and traction, 290 WHP won't mean anything at all. - Not saying you don't have them, but just mentioning since I have no idea what you got.

I apologize, I should specify what my plans are.
have it re-tuned to little more power so on hot days, I can dial down the boost to insure engine won't blow up on me. Call it margin of safety.
I appreciate your inputs and looking forward to see local owners...
Oh and light (weight) is relative... I saw an Lotus 7 clone (Superperformance S1) with old rotary NA engine. 1400 lbs at 180 HP. Now, that's light...

the car is going to boost more when its cold because of the air being more dense

So, I finished my first track day last Friday at Autoclub Speedway (California Speedway). 4 Sessions at 25 min each session. Car saw .90 kg/hg pressure at peak on the PowerFC. After the last session, water temp got above 220F. I guess 2nd oil cooler is in order. Car currently have Earl's 25 row oil cooler with -10AN lines and 170 thermostat. I will be ordering a second earl's 25 row oil cooler and connect in series. Car drives awesome except coming out of corners, it's keep on getting lose. I contribute that to the nut behind the wheel and also 5+ year old tires...
