What a great post.

I'd say exactly 622rwhp. But only 620rwhp if you are using AC Delco spark plugs.

It's a good thing he didn't tell us anything else about the engine, because the only thing that makes a difference in power is the maker of the kit, size of the turbo, and the displacement.

Depending on compression ratio, heads, cam choice, fuel system setup and octane the compressor could easily support 800-900RWHP on that setup.

Couple more questions for you:

Pump or race gas? Meth injection? What exhaust config?

At 15#s boost I would think ~700RWHP will be easily doable with a good exhaust setup on that motor

honestly,thats rather controversial.people have made 1000rwhp with stock truck manifolds and people can make a crapload with tubular headers.Tubular headers are supposed to be much more efficient but unless your really pushing the setup i dont think you'll see that big of a difference.everyones goal is to make the most hp at the least amount of boost with the lowest backpressure so that that as u will.
