divide your n/a hp by 17, times that by the pounds of boost, then add your n/a number.

ie. 350 hp n/a on 12#'s

350/17 = 20.5X12 = 247+350 = 597

I'm not sure that's a "scientifically" proven formula. I saw another guy try to say that if you divide your N/A power by 14.7 (1 bar) then multiply that number by your boost + N/A power = Horsepower.

I don't think either one is correct. Everyone knows as well as I do that the LS1 engine much like any other engine is going to vary in power and vary with out it takes power adders...ie, turbo, intake, exhaust...etc.
