Default Power gains?

Alright so I have a b20b with everything stock currently but I want to know how much power it would make with these mods


- 1.6 liter Procharger kit for b16 head at 10 psi
- b16 head
- e85 injection
- quality exhaust headers to muffler
- type r b16 cams
- type r valvetrain
- b20b block
- forged internals
- 10:1 compression should be okay on e85 at 10 psi right?
- intercooler for the procharger

Thanks ahead of time.

I could go more compression but the engine has to be reliable as it's going into my daily so would it still be as reliable or no.

higher compression won't affect "reliability" if its tuned properly and you're using the correct fuel. 10:5 or 11:1 compression will give you good power on pump gas. if youre running e85, or a higher octane fuel other than pump, you could run even more compression than listed above if you wanted.

It does however, affect the knock limit, which is important to consider when boosting a car.

So on e85 something like 12:1 compression should be okay to run on 10 psi boost

PSI IS IRRELEVANT. DEPENDS UPON TURBO USED.

Ok. I'll try this again. . PSI IS IRRELEVANT, IT DEPENDS UPON C-SERIES COMPRESSOR USED.

They're trying to indirectly state you're asking the wrong questions.

"How many fish will I catch with this fishing rod versus that rod?" Even then- bad analogy.. Too many factors outside of simply that to even have a clue.

It depends on the compressor efficiency and size of your procharger. You could have a tiny little 20lbs/minute blower or 70lbs/minute. The PSI is irrelevant because until we have the specifics of your setup (more than your 'mods list'), it's a sheer guessing game with no factual base. Further than that, how aggressive of ignition timing? What sized injectors? Etc., etc..

Don't take it personally. People are here to help. It's just a matter of seeing questions like this far too often with focus in the wrong places.
