basically my project snowballed and these are parts i actually have , the motor is not in the car yet , im sure its a silly question but would u guys care to guestimate the HP of this fairly popular set up on a 1G AWD.
rebuilt motor and did the following supporting mods at the same time .

wiseco 9.0 pistons
cometic HP HEAD GASKET .054 (reduces compression .3 ?)
crower valve spring kit (summit had it for $199-they price matched)
hks 272/272
eagle rods
arp head/main studs
rebuilt head-stock valves
dejon tool race fmic
gm maft in blow thru on the fmic piping
zex wet 75 "shot/jet"
tre spool
act 2600
4 bolt rear
auto alchemy fuel inlet line
aem afpr
slightly ported intake manifold
pte scm 61 turbo - 56 trim - internally gated
780cc pte injectors
atr 3"o2 elim-dumps @ rear axle-no muffler
buschur ported 2g exh manifold
dejon tool cai
supra tt pump - rewired 10 guage
b/s removed
prothane motor mounts

prolly something im forgetting but that is most of it

the tricky part. assuming AVERAGE TUNING AND DRIVING what will the average person see w/this setup, the only tuning tools i have are a logger, egt gauge and the maft, i will go to the dyno and use a wideband to get me in the ball park ..

my goals realistic or not are low 7's @ 100 in the 1/8 (local track)
or mid to low 11's in the 1/4 in gainesville around 125-128ish

my previous best was on a 16g w/minimal mods on a 1/8th mile track
8.02 @ 90 mph

thanks in advance,
ronnie

well i'd say u've got a built motor. to me it's a motor with internals, and headwork. that's been built in my eye. oh, and i've been 8.06 @ 87mph in the 1/8th, but i have a 14b:laugh: hopefully u can pull of some sweet times.

14 b rocks, just not enough for me, i guess the difference between quick and fast... very impressive time on that turbo, my best was a 8.16 on a 16g
 
Wow, I see you're aiming for at least 400 whp. I would guestimate anywhere from 400-550 whp /w nitrous. There are just so many variables, nobody will be able to give you a very accurate answer.
 
Imo, that is "built". I hope you make power with that setup as my setup is going to be 75% similar. I'd assume with good tuning and no issues (there isn't a time when it is 100% problem free:( ) you better/should make high 400s (at least) on 30 psi/race gas.
