Default Turbonetics TC78 with Race cover potential?

I have a 94' mustang, should weigh roughly 3300#s with me. 347", TH400, TC78 with .96 ex side, Thinking about going with the GTM race cover and larger exhaust housing with 4 inch downpipe.
How much power potential should this make, 850-900 RWHP? How fast do you think I'd be able to go?
If anyone has anything remotely close to this. I'd like to see some track times, combo info.
Thanks, Joe

I have the same turbo but have been having problems with my setup. I would think it would be hard fought to get that much whp to register on a dyno through a th400 but would show up and work well at the track. You should be able to go run in the bottom 9's with ease at that race weight if your setup is working correctly.

I don't really care about the numbers.
Thanks for the info. That's what I was hoping to hear.

How do you like the TC? What's your setup? Got any times yet?

I dont have a Tc, I have a gtm-78 which is the same thing with a race cover on it. My motor is floating the valves so it wont make any more than 580 rwhp. I have gone 10.40 at 136 so far. It has alot left in it and I should have better numbers soon.

I have the turbo as well but have not started the build yet. looking for 9's with no weight redux. I want to keep the ac and all the creature comforts.

With the standard TC78 quite a few of our customers are in the 9's with full weight cars. ~140mph traps.
