1600hp
Video
"As most of you know an inertial dyno calculates power based on the amount of time it takes to spin the heavy drum. An NA for instance takes nearly 10 seconds to do a dyno pull to redline. Most upgraded TT's still take several seconds. Notice the amount of time it takes the car to spin up the roller and complete the pulls once the throttle is applied. The engine is being taken up to over 8,000 rpm during the pulls. It made 880 rwhp at 36 psi (Z1 GT725R kit) without any nitrous on the pull before that. Then we sprayed it. We were unable to get a reading using the nitrous, because of a lack of traction. The tires were just spinning on the roller even with it strapped as tight as we could get and with some extra weight in the trunk on the second pull. We were spraying both stages in that video (on top of the 36 psi). The initial shot is a 60 shot mounted in the hardpipes before the throttle bodies. The second stage is a 225 direct port shot mounted under the lower plenum. The car was almost certainly producing over 1200 hp at the rear wheels on those pulls (considering the multiplying effect of nitrous on a turbo car). "
This car has dynoed at 1051RWHP with smaller turbos and less nitrous before. With nitrous its expected to produce near 1600HP at the crank.

I'm just happy that it's not a stock n/a with a goofy body kit on it. sadly that's usually where most end up. so it's good to see someone keeping it clean and getting some good performance out of it.
