sounds like a nice car. i whould think it should run low 10s on 10# boost without issue. and seeing how you just bought it id start there and just make sure the car is sound and working at that power level then turn it up from there. but thats me and im kind of conservative.

I was told by a very known vendor on here that my twin 255's with a -8 line and 127 injectors with a base pressue of 43 psi would get to 800 hp. That is with a 6.0, PT76 and a glide. So I am going to see.

Nice buy.
I would do what Yenkomike suggested. Drive a bit and make sure it is sound.
Also, the PT turbos have been an issue recently and with it having been rebuilt may wave a flag. Some may disagree but i would keep a close eye on it.
Just my opinion.
Hope it works for you. Gotta alot of good parts on that car.
