Depends on how much turbo you have left and where you are on the map. It will probably be within a hundred hp or so, assuming everything is there to support the additional boost.

turbonectics set the turbos up so im good on the turbo map and the fuel, engine, and everything else is good to the hp. and i have no idea what i have na. i know it had 560 on the crank then i lowered the compression from 11.1 to 8.1 and put a boost cam in.

If everything is up to the task you shouldn't have any issue with 1100hp.
