My car has been down for a month now waiting for an alternator. Right now I’m trying to look ahead. What would you recommend I do next. My goal is 350-380whp. Log in link indicates 330hp. Does anyone know how accurate links HP and TQ numbers are? And those would be at the crank...correct?

1. Switch to SD
2. Change O2 housing w external WG. My car came w stock O2 housing w rigged open dump and I absolutely hate it.
3. Or just save money and do tbelt job and refresh head.

Current mods are below.

Thanks!!

I am about the same spot you are. I haven't checked my compression numbers in a while though. Yours look low and inconsistent which should mean time for a refresh. Rings might be ok since it doesn't change much with oil added. Was this engine warm or cold?

Do you have ARP headstuds? might need those to hit 350 whp. Boost over 22-24 is too much for 2gs at least.

Link numbers are roughly accurate if your inputs are accurate. Just keep in mind link is crank hp not wheel hp i believe.
 
Thanks DC! Engine was warmed up when compression test was done. Haven’t done leakdown test yet. Idk if it has studs. I’ll know when I dive in there. Figured link numbers were estimated crank HP but want to make sure.
