estimate my power?

Hey guys, anybody have any idea what kind of power my truck is putting down? havent dyno'd it yet
here are the mods:

tranny: A518, professionally built by northeast performance diesel

2nd motor: about 1.5 turns on full power screw, starwheel 1 turn from bottom, smoke screw in 2 turns. Bully dog fuel pin, 14 cm wastegated housing, bully dog injectors.

Also, i just ordered a water meth kit today. the kit is a 150 psi pump with a dual nozzle set up, 1 12 GPH nozzle and one 6 GPH nozzle.

can anybody tell me about what kind of power my truck is gonna have with the water meth?
thanks

Not sure on the water meth, but I'll take a guess at the horse power of your rig.
I'd have to say somewhere in the 260-280hp range and somewhere around 600 ft lbs for torque. The A518 isn't going to let the power get to the rear wheels with a non-lockup converter like a 47RH with a lockup converter will.

Water/meth is worth about 40 HP on a truck that's already overfueled (I imagine yours is). On trucks that have enough air you can pick up 60-80 HP with it.

We should set up a pool for these "guess my HP" post with a paypal account and cover the cost of the dino with it, and the closest guess wins the pot!
