so from 50lbs/min to about 60lbs/min. As long you get the 60-1 that has a larger EXHAUST wheel, like a p-trim or stage 5 (just saying you have a .XXA/R doesn't mean anything) you'll exceed your goal MUCH more than with the standard stage III that comes with the 60-1 T04S. your 57 trim and standard 60-1 use the same exhaust wheel. that could hold you back a bit.
