Default How much power to be made by...

Let me start by saying I did post this in the forced inductions forum. But everyone just kept telling me what I "should" do instead of answering my question. I don't mean to come off rude. That's just what happened.

Just bought a 2000 Camaro off a member of this forum. It has a 383 in it. As well a GMR twin turbo kit, built M6, and a 12 bolt. :-)

The car was "safely" tuned with 91 octane (Southern California). Exhaust is 3" all the way. Car was tuned at 600-700ft elevation.

The car made 600whp or so at roughly 10.5 psi.

Now my question is: If I were to add a 4" cutout before the 3" Y pipe, retune with 93 octane (by NYC, Jersey side. So just about sea level)... what kind of power could that be? It's gotta be pretty significant for a pump gas setup, no?

I am NOT complaining about a very drivable 600whp twin turbo setup. Just wondering how much more "safe power" I could get out of the car? Not into C16, meth, any of that. I'm a pump gas kind of guy.

honestly it really depends on the tuner......i would say if anything itll spool quicker with a cutout. MIGHT if your lucky pickup 40-50rwhp again depending on the tuner

For the money you would have invested in the cutout, I think the gains would be extremely significant.
