Just about finished , 350 HP ?

I'm just about finished with my tow rig. I've got the following.

AEM Workhorse intake
RV275 injectors
4" exhaust with straight pipe
Smarty on #7
then
adding Blue Chip APB (85 hp) fueling only box

will this get me to 350 hp with stock HX35 turbo ?

See my signature. You may be happier around 320 RWHP since I can see 1450 degF pre-turbo EGTs when towing if I don't drive by the pyrometer. The guys at Diesel Dynamics tried to tell me that 320-325 RWHP is a practical limit for the stock HX35W-12 for those of us who tow heavy. I haven't had any problems, but I do watch the pyro!

If I had to guess you should be over 350. Smarty and 275s should put you around 300 alone on a HO motor, add the fueling box and you're over the 350 mark. I would just make sure you have some kind of boost elbow or wastegate clamp to get the boost needed.
