Well here are the numbers as of now. Wade from HPP will chime in, I'm sure.
I believe it was 605HP and 598 Tq at 7psi. MY clutch wasn't going to hold the 12psi we threw at it, but it sure was fun to watch.
Thanks guys at HPP for staying late and finishing the car.

Ram VDS.
Getting a twin disc in there. The fuel system was giving us hell at the beginning. On 7.5 peak/7.0 throughout, his combination really didnt like that low of boost. I truly think the compression and fuel setup had a ton to do with it. When we turned it up, the graph and a/f cleaned up significantly and was on the way well over 700 (12 psi peak) until the clutch smoked.
Also, it made 613 rwhp/60X rwtq on one run. That was 10.0 A/F and with only 12 degrees of timing!!!
As soon as we get a clutch in it, 800 rwhp on 16psi or so shouldn't be a problem.
KWIKSS said it drives great on the street. He never did tell me if it hauls *** though... Just that it feels great.

We had James Vicars (HPP/Guess Who?'s tuner) and Patrick from Quality Motorsports on the mission. Patrick's used to tune for 21st Century muscle cars (lingenfelter) and both of these guys know their way around turbo LSX motors.

The kit runs tweaked mitsubishi 20gs.Their max airflow is around the 50 pound range so they are speced about 1000engine hp max power. Peter thinks a 370 is ideal for them and they do fine on a 346 and they have numbers in threads on here with their forged up 346 but it has tweaked turbo wheels that are not currently in the standard kit.
I think am still going to a 408 iron block. Not that worried about a bit more displacement.Was going to go to 427 but that might be too big for these snails.
You can it near 1000 engine hp from a done up 346 .The main reason to go up to a 370 or 402 /408 is to get more torque which is nice off boost, you should also get faster spool up from more displacement. And be able to make same power at lower boost than smaller engine could. Less boost is good for keeping things like the head gaskets sealing.

Good to hear it's all together! I noticed the bov's were recirculated back into the intake. Are they still noticable when you let off the throttle? I'm sure it'd be easy to vent to the atmosphere and not as stealthy. Just curious as to how it sounds the way it is. (I like blow off hehe)

First off, this is an awesome thread. Looking forward to purchasing this kit in the future and now I have a good reference.
Second, I don't know if you're still running your stock torque arm or not... I cracked 2 stockers w/ just under 400rwhp, both on the top side back bolt hole. Just a heads up!

Yes still using stock torque arm. only thing I haven't replaced. LOL.
and you can hear the turbos spool up and it has a little Blow off noise. I like it but could be louder. It will never end.

Umm still had a few questions for you. What cam are you running in there and do you just have the standard afr springs or did you go up to the .650 lift ones?Also where do you start seeing boost and what rpm do you think it gets to full spool in say third or fourth?
