you could get 650rwhp with a T trim....my 2 valve motor made 680rwhp on 104 octane and around 650 on pump gas 20 psi.

How low is your compression? You will want to buy either a 10% or 15% overdrive crank pulley from innovator's West if you haven't already. You will need at least 60# injectors and some nice fuel pumps i.e. ford gt pumps. Do you have an 8 rib pulley setup? You will need that in order to reduce the massive amount of belt slip that will probably occur with boost over 15psi. It is highly recommended that you get an upgraded bypass valve. I used the vortech mini-race and it worked with 20 pounds of boost from my JT trim and my T trim.

If the crank pulley is the stock diameter you will probably be around 18 pounds of boost. With the JT trim you could probably get about 620 to the wheels on pump gas.

10% unless you want to buy an electric water pump then get the 15%. The 15% will make more boost. My 10% overdrive made about 2 more psi I think but, the big deal about it is that it brings the boost in faster, less lag if you will.
I bought my JT trim new from a Vortech dealer. Check around for good used deals. I have seen one or two in the past few months for sale on the corral and modfords.

Good luck!
