475 to 500 should be close.

I'd want a PDR Hx40 at that level. Just for that extra piece of mind.

I'd want a little more than even a PDR40. You're approaching the ragged edge of HX40 limitations. I know lotsa guys have put down 500hp+ with them, but those turbos are destined for short lives.

PDR recommends no more than 450hp for their PDR40. With the SM injects, I would look more into the PDR55 hybrid, JR Adkins' Baby 55, or a B1.

HX40s can give a lot of bang for the buck....but sometimes they give you the wrong kind of BANG, if you know what I mean. Ask someone who's grenaded one. They work well within their limits, but don't hold your breath if you want to push it.

I know banshee and his dad (I think his name is John P., not sure) have run about 500 hp through a 40 and have done so for a very long time without having any troubles.
