right now im tuned at 21psi on stock internals and pump gas....if i were to turn up the boost to like 25 or 26psi and tuned it well...how many more horse would that give me about?
 
Every car is different. The only way to find out is to dyno it and find out for sure. This is considered bench racing by the mods, but if I had to guess, I would say you could pick up another 30-40 hp with your 50 trim.
 
Id say 40-50 horses. I have always read 1psi= 10 horses.
But like mentioned, the MODS will prob lock this before you get to many replies.

I've asked a similar question like that and was told the same.
 
Not gonna happen on a 50 trim and pump gas. Especially on Cali. gas that is probably way under 91 octane. I would stay at 21lbs for now. Even the best DSMLink tuners out here can't get more than 22 psi on pump with a 50 trim and 850cc inj. You are only running 720cc and an SAFC which isn't gonna work very well with bigger injectors. Surprised is even works with 720's. Gonna need to mix fuel for that. Gonna be looking at about 30-35 to the wheels if you do get it to work somehow.
