I'm boosting 9 psi on mine. I really need to get on a dyno and find out how much power it's putting out, I figure it's capable of 225-230 whp finely tuned. I don't have high hopes of the tranny holding up forever. I drive it HARD every day.

I was making 198whp and 162 torque. It will hold power fine as long as it is maintained and taken care of. Too bad I didn't follow my own advice.

Only that much power from a JRSC at 6 psi with an auto and stock intake/exhaust. A similar setup with a manual yields 210-220.

with a few bolt on's, I would have to say....

V8 Mustangs,V8 Camaros, and some other cars. You'd pretty much be running somewhere close to high 14's. (Or high 15's?? )
