After slaving over a hot dyno for 90 minutes we have the results. Across Pelican and Rennlist we had 33 entries. The median rear wheel HP guess was 405, the median torque guess was 475 ft/lbs.
<drumroll please>
And the results of todays trip:
342 rwhp and 370 ft/lbs torque (uncorrected). Air fuel ratios high 11s and low 12s. Peak HP around 5500 rpm, peak torque around 4500 rpm. Jeff Creech (my dyno guy - who prepared one of the winning cars for "Pinks" a couple of months ago) says there's more in it, but I'm running out of turbo and cam (yes, you were right, PorschePhD).
This means that the winner is jtkkz with a guess of 350 rwhp - please remember you only have 200 years to claim your prize. Congratulations and thanks to all of the players.

Well - you should leave the cams alone.
How about just changing the turbo first - that alone will bring you as high as you like.

My guess was closer the median, too. Besides the choice of turbos, I suspect there might be something not totally right with the spark, but haven't picked up any big indicators. I'm not on a mad rush to upgrade anything at this point. Since this is just a touring/beat around car that I'm not going to race, it is more than adequate for what I want. I am curious about the difference in output from the guesses on the forum. Makes me wonder if there may be something awry with the electrics.
