With a stock turbo, you are gonna be hamstrung to around 350-375 RW. IMHO.. Even at that the pyro will need a 5th digit..

these numbers might be a little high. with a stock turbo you can only clear up so much fuel. if you add more fuel past the efficiency point you are "putting out the flame" and losing power. saw it happen first hand, person dynoed, swapped injectors, dynoed again and lost 40hp. tuning is key and the timing should really help up top.

Just from experience, I put down 330 with stock 215's and stock HX35 running around 38psi boost. I was thinking with the GSK and few other mods you might get another 20 ponies out of it. I haven't hit the rollers yet with the stuff I changed out.
