So I'm putting a Vortech v3 si on a 95 gt e7 heads making 223 rwhp. I'll be using the fmu and all that jazz for a minute but when it's up and running I'm gonna run to the tune shop. The guy who sold the kit said he'd expect 350-360 hp but that sounds pretty optimistic to me. What would be a realistic ballpark when starting at 223?

I'd guess around the same depending on boost 350-375.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

Minimum of 100 rwhp gain, 340-350 rwhp is my guess
