I've seen a dyno graph of a guy who got 550 and felt that he could probably tune it out to 6, but he wasn't planning on upgrading his block so he didn't want to run it on the edge. That's part of what got me interested in the whole turbo v8 thing to start with. At this point I'm just going to wait till after college to do it with a used '03.
But that's beside the point. The guy with the 550 dyno was running efi, since you're carbed you should see at LEAST 650 right off the bat, right?
