[QUOTE="smashedheadcat, post: 16126504, member: 7756"] I would guess your turbo could move enough air to make 1000rwhp, but it's not a cake walk. When you put together something that can make four digit power, you really need to get everything working together and you need to eliminate inefficiencies. Example: An unmodified Hellion turbo kit has a single 3" downpipe. Do you think a single 3" exhaust is setting you up to make 1000 wheel? Elevated pressure in the downpipe will reduce the efficiency of your combo. Increasing the downpipe diameter to 4" will reduce restrictions in the exhaust track and increase efficiency across the board. The 99-01 cobra intake is an intake designed to promote low/midrange power with peak power coming between 5-6000 rpms with torque dropping off rapidly as the RPMS go up. This is good for a street car, but not for dyno queens. Shortening the intake runners will reduce restriction on the intake side and also shift the powerband to the right. That will allow you stretch the RPMs out and gain power on the top end. Obviously there are many little components you'll need to support that power, but a stock, long runner intake and 3" downpipe are not meant to do what you're looking to do. Now there is nothing wrong with the combo you're looking to put together, but it is not one that is going to slay the rollers. It will still be fast. All I am saying is you'll need to adjust your combo to make the dyno numbers you're looking to make. I [/QUOTE]
