Gauging from past results, about 14psi or so is right around the 800 level with AFR heads and 6spd trans. Depending on how big the cam is , and how well the combo works, it should be anywhere from 700-900 depending on pulley.

I'm at 730rwhp@5000 rpm and 10 psi-I'm expecting around 950+@6700-7000. This is through a auto and pump gas. The 730 was just dialing it in yet-still have to throw lots of timing at it! Hopefully I'll get the belt slip issues sorted out this weekend.

Haha I think it will last for a long time. . . .as long as you keep it under 2,000 rpm at ALL times

I've heard of guys breaking the 10 bolt rear just pulling the car out of the garage. With a six speed, expect to need a tow truck the first time at the track. As far as dragstrip times go, you can add 150 rwhp and not significantly affect your 1/4 mile times if your suspension is still fairly stock. Wheelspin and mph would go up, but without hooking don't expect a huge drop in 1/4 mile times.
This list may help you out some.
