i've seen the search kit too, 700whp? that musta been untuned. stock internals on the search kit unlocks UNLIMITED horsepower when tuned.

haha

I don't know what the numbers are yet. I just finished the install last weekend and with the shitty weather here in the northeast she's going to say in the garage until a nice day to get to the dyno. I'm guessing, and strictly guessing, I'll see around 300whp. Or at least that's what I am hoping for.

It's all stock 'cept for the blower, 7psi pulley and buddy club exhaust. (dual pro spec)

bigger than 7psi? I wasn't sure about that. I'll have to do some more research before i got with more boost.

I've got the Comptech aftercooler. I don't know how well it does though.
