What kind of HP can this set up support? I'm looking for 600-900RWHP when my set up is done. I love the GT40 tubular intake but will it support 600+?

I would not even consider that intake for a combo with that power level intentions. I am assuming this is a boosted combo, look at the Holley Systemax II, TFS-R, Edelbrock Vic 5.0 or a Spyder style set-up. Really depends on the rpm range of your EXACT combo.

yes I know the spyder will make the power and will probably go that route. I was just curious about the gt-40 because it looks so sweet.

BTW I'm going turbo good guess on the boost

The GT40 upper will not allow that kind of power, so the nice look is what limits it's potential. One of my GT40 lowers is making 606RWHP but it has a box upper on it and 17# of boost.
