Ok I've searched but could not find what I'm looking for. What does a stock gst have for horsepower and trq? And how much horsepower do you gain for every lb of boost that you go up?
 
To answer your question on how many hp per pound of boost, there is no right answer to that. It will all depend on what kind of a turbo you are using to make that boost and what your supporting mods are for that turbo.

on a stock turbo you will get 30 more hp,by rising 1 lb of boost,
so if you rise up to 30 lbs of boost, that means Blown engine :D :p

But trully answering your question about hp gains rising the boost ,will be impossible,as a guy said before...
 
On a completely stock set up, the 'perfect situation' gain would be ~9hp/lb. Varies wildly on condtion of engine, atmospheric condition, etc.

Fixed.

The aero benefit you get from sun-fade differentials associated with stickers is worth at least 20 hp. So aside from the extra hp from the motor, you get less drag pulling you around, and probably a bit more downforce as well. Since the air moves cleanly over the car, you get a vacuum effect behind the exhaust which causes scavenging to kick into overdrive. Just gotta be careful that you don't blow the welds on the intake manifold or lose your passenger side floorboard (special diamond plate weight saving program) out the bottom of your car.
