T Turbo__Tim One heck of a Tim! Joined May 25, 2001 May 13, 2002 #4 Reading of the different dyno tests over the years seems to indicate that 12 HP per pound is about right.

G G McCall Member Joined May 30, 2001 May 15, 2002 #9 SO many variables. My experience says 15-18 hp per 1Lb boost with a 12.00 and faster car. 8-12 is for a more stock setup.
