The famous question

[highboostgn]

Alright after adding $3500 more to my car I was curious on how much power Im making. I bought the car with a slipping trans and finally got a Stage1 trans with an 9" Art Carr 2800 Stall and took it to the track and ran a 12.71 @ 108 with a 2.0 60'(track conditions were horrible..It was underwater the morning before they opened) on only 15lbs of boost.
Precision 5857
,2.5" Dynomax exhaust/no cat, RJC DP
Turbo Tweak 5.7 Alky Chip,
MAF Translator w/ 3" LT1 MAF,
SMC Alky Kit,
"009" Injectors,
FMIC
Walbro 340 pump, Racetronix Hotwire Kit, Accufab Adj. Fuel Reg,
Stock unopened block, stock heads, stock cam,
Stage 1 200r4, 9" 2800 stall 9" Art Carr

What power on 15lbs vs 20-24lbs

Ok, I'll bite...

Your combo is similar to mine. Based on your 108 mph trap speed, you're making low-300 hp at the crank at 15 psi. At 25 psi, my engine was estimated to be making high-400 hp at the crank with a 119 mph trap speed. At 24 psi and a good tune, you should be close to that, but your 009's will be maxed out.

I'll probably get hung out to dry for saying this, But here goes...

***Don't compensate motor pieces for the tune being off...****

I went down this road at 10x what you paid an it got me nothing in return.

with just larger valves an camshaft, 50lbs's an te48 , i went 11.4,22psi 93/alky on 6 ,sameish crappy short, but managed 7.2-99mph 1/8 still but the tune failed at 1/2 track. Car was done,plus it lost head gasket..(fel-pros) ,I 'was' on my way into the High 10's,stock but modified some motor pieces.

I then went to 60lbs,72lbs,didn't want over that for MPG. I got snowballed into adding pieces -vs- get's the right pieces/people to tune it to start off with.
