What to expect with this setup?

88 TII 90K original miles great compression still.

Haltech Sprint RE
Stock turbo (for now)
LS2 coils
3" turbo back exhaust
550cc primary's 1600cc Secondary's
GSP front mount intercooler.
Walbro 255 pump
No emissions
Running pre-mix
Fast acting AIT

Might be forgetting something. What kind of power should I be looking at? I plan on getting a bigger turbo maybe a t60-2, gt35r, or possible HX40 (get them for dumb cheap)

Let me know what you guys think!!!

I friend of mine has pretty much the same set up but with a Microtech and he is getting about 220 at the wheels at 13psi if I remember correctly I drove the car and it felt pretty good its just that at around 5000-5500 the Turbo comes in short and could use either a BNR upgrade or a t04s or something in those lines.

220 to the wheels is about what I was thinking. I'd like to skate around with that for early spring while I parts hoard for a big turbo set up. I get Holset turbos for retarded cheap so I was thinking Hx40. I heard they come on like a sledgehammer in our cars... That sounds fun.

Right on. I'm actually going with a Greddy intercooler instead of the GSP one. I'd like to be sitting around the 370-400whp mark by the end of the summer. I'm not really interested in porting my engine, will an Hx40 hit that mark?
