how much power can be expected?

This is just a rough spec sheet of what I hope to build.

400 sbc
8.5:1 to 9:1 C/R
forged internals
1 3/4" primaries on the twin turbo headers
Two T04 turbos
2 small volvo/probe intercoolers
Holley StealthRam with 24# injectors
Custom burned chip as yet to be determined
3.5" single exhaust

I know this is sketchy but tio those who have built boosted motors... How must boost would u run? What kind of power can be expected from this type of setup?

I see how it is... keep the same topics alive, but never give the new ones a chance!

Well, that just about clears that up. Thanks for the "help".

well, 24# injectors will keep your hp low. unless you want to run lean. I would look at 30# injectors just to get above the 400 hp mark. do a search and you will find the formula needed to find injector sizing for expected hp.

I am guessing that this stuff is pretty new to you. I would suggest that you read through other posts and try and find out as much as you can first. I would hate to see you jump into a turbo setup like that and find your self inthe middle of it all with no clue.
