Default What could I expect?

Just finishing putting my track 951 back together, and in the process figured out a lot about her. I'm wondering how much hp/fun factor she should have

She has:
correlli forged rods
forged pistons (not sure which ones)
balance shaft delete
tarret sway bars
koni yellow adjustable
993 breaks
cat delete
3" straight pipes
linsey racing maf
maftuner
uego meter
shift meter
linsey adjustable boost
oversized radiator
rollcage
racing seats. rest is gutted
k26/8
18" 911 turbo twists (running slicks) 245 square, but I could go up to 275 pretty easily.

Right now I have been told to run 14lbs of boost on 98+ octane. Any thoughts as to what my hp might be? what about the worth of the engine. its modified, but also has forged stuff. When I checked the rod bearings, it looked like a brand new engine inside, but I dont know how many hours was on it.

I'm wondering how reliable and fun this car should be? and if not reliable, how much would the engine be worth to put towards an ls swap?

Your car is pretty similar to mine actually. It should be very fun. I estimate 325 whp at 14psi but others might have a more accurate guess. Not sure what your engine is worth. Your car will be more fun with a professional alignment and balance if it hasn't had one. Not sure how balance shaft delete affects reliability. I don't think you'll have any reliability issues with 14psi on 98 octane if the tune/engine are in good shape.

I don't think the 26/8 will flow enough air to make 325 rwhp. my guess would be 310 at the max

A 26/8 @ 14psi with a properly tuned MAF will yield you about 275 RWHP on a good day. You really need to tuen up the boost.
