I would say in the 550 to 600 rwhp range. And if you don't have injectors buy 60 pounders..

I think 42 is enough for that setup and 8lbs.

600rwhp is possible.

I would say that you are high enough that you'll need to think about bottom end work.

Mine made 481 on a stock motor with some shitty parts and a little boost leakage........so you should be good for the 550-600 range.

Gotcha. Well once you are powered up, if it seems like too much gear you can drop down when you get your 12-bolt.

My APS kit is in my basement waiting for warmer weather. The car currently has 4.56 gears, which I *think* will be too much!
