How much HP?

Did a search on TST Hp charts and said no one really goes by the charts anymore. So how much HP could you expect out of a 98' 12V with the 215 pump, #10 plate clear forward and a 16cm2 nonwastegated turbo housing?

I'd say maybe close to 300hp or just a hair over with those mods alone..after injectors and delivery valves, you'll break into 400's easily and you'll need a bigger turbo....and the bombing continues....get yourself some gov springs to stretch out the powerband as well

a hair back from full forward with 3k gov springs yeilded 357hp with a Scotty air, 16* timing and 16 cm housing on my 98 215 early on in its life before the twins and with a little more tuning probably could have got a little more. 300 is a low estimate with the 215 pump and a #10. i got 300hp at the rear wheels out of a 180hp pump with a #10 and gov springs alittle over 3/4 forward

I always like to give conservative estimates to prevent guys from feelign depressed when they go and dyno the truck and their bubble bursts...I'd rather be pleasantly surprised when i get big numbers

LOL

Time and tuning. what runs best for you towing or on the street may not dyno as big of a number but will outperform and high dyno turning rig. 300hp is an amazing feeling from a 12v. its not HP its torque your striving for
