I asked a simple question about the power my parts would put down and my post got ither deleted or moved? Im not complaining at all i just still want an answer. I serached forum after forum, and went through all the up grade path guides and have found them VERY skimpy. I have been given such mixed reviews from different posts about power on different set ups that i wanted just a single answer to settle it.

And if im not allowed an answer for a "dumb" question then sorry for posting this also.

Right. See that's what we call bench racing. No one knows, especially not us, what kind of power your car puts down. You have to dyno it or track the car to get an idea. Airflow logs can also give indications.
But that's why your shit got tossed out. We can't have a circus of misinformation, opinion and speculation running rampant.

As for what your parts are capable of, that's a tricky one too seeing as you haven't filled out your vehicle profile. No one knows what you're talking about.
There's no harm in asking of if turbo "x" is good for "xyz" horsepower, but be careful. You walk a fine line.

Could you elaborate on what you found so skimpy in the upgrade paths? I mean, I would agree that there's not a lot of detailed information - but that's why it's the tech guide and not the teacher's solution manual. Some of the information is erroneous and outdated, I admit, but it serves its purpose. What improvements would you make?
 
What were you looking for, maximum safe power you can put down with a certain setup or what we think your setup or hypothesized setup would put down?
 
It got deleted because you're asking a question no one but a dyno can answer. It's called bench racing and is very frowned upon here. Every car responds differently to modifications. Conditions like: how the car was/is maintained, mileage, quality of parts/installation, etc...
 
As mentioned, we have no way of knowing how much power your particular setup will make. Even if two cars have the exact same modifications and tuning parameters, they're respective dyno numbers may be off by a hundred horsepower.

In other words, you'll NEVER get that one single answer that makes you happy. The only way to tell how much power you're making, and the only way to make the most power possible, is by having your car tuned by a professional, on a dynomometer.

It's not so much a dumb question as it is a question that we cannot possibly answer.
