My guess 440-450rwhp, possibly more, really depends on the dyno.
I personally do not like pistons with sharp edges for nitrous and I cannot for certain say those pistons have sharp edges, but most with valve reliefs do. Creates hot spots

All of us are. I have been hot rodding for 10+ years (read: not long at all) and still don't know crap! Once you think you got it figured out is about the time you realize you don't know anything.

very good info gordon. i was wondering about that as well..
the last car i had built, well more like i paid the bill and the shop put it together was a 67 corvette, and what works on old school iron does nothing on the new stuff. then about 4 years ago i had a big single turbo supra with aftermarket rods etc etc etc.. but nothing in the toyota world is like the gm stuff.
so when tuned if it makes say 400 whp.. then a 125-150 shot to be safe, that should be be a pretty quick camaro i would think.. the car is also an auto.. Id rather row gears but sometimes you cant pass up a car
