Everything is installed and tuned with the exception of my guages. It pulled 357 RWHP, and 407 RWTQ... I was hoping for 400 rwhp and similar torque, but apparently, this blower is making 10 psi... so, big shot tuned my car with a very safe tune. Believe it or not, i like the 4.10's in this setup. As long as I dont stab the throttle it hooks pretty decently.
Oh no...they're dead on assuming you don't mind making ragged edge A/F ratio's, a steady diet of 100+ octane fuel and 23* of timing a regular occurance.Are the HP ratings listed on the Kenne Bell site not accurate?

So to answer your question....no, their stats aren't accurate. At least not for your average user running 91-Octane and reasonable timing and A/F ratio's. Either plan on pulleying it for more boost, or look into a charger that'll make that kind of power right out of the box.
I don't mean to derail the thread here, but I have yet to see a Tork Tech Inc. kit make less than 387rwhp at their advertised 8psi (usually 390-405hp through a stick shift). And that number was on a car running it through an automatic transmission. Upgrade the fuel system, swap the pulley and make sure you've got a short block that'll hold up to the power and 500-550+hp isn't hard to reach.
...did I mention they were about $500 cheaper than the Kenne Bell kit as well?
Just throwing it out there....do what you will with it.
Don't forget buying the new hood that you have to with the Tork Tech kit. Just so he knows that that is also an expense (there goes the $500 difference). I guess they also have the extended hood scoop that you can use to keep the stock hood. Looks like a great kit and it comes with an 8-rib setup standard. Definitely something to look into.
387 out of an auto vs 417 out of a manual equates to only being 7rwhp down at the crank - that could be temperature, altitude, ect. No reason to worry
Gearbanger - does the Tork Tech kit work with NPI heads?
My recommendation is if you're set on a KB, try to find a used 2.2L or 2.6H before pulling the trigger on a new 2.1L kit.
