How much power are you guys making?

Im trying to get an idea of how much power you guys are making. I plan on running 8lbs of boost on a forged 396 with home ported LT1 heads.

How much power are you blower guys making?

I made the power in my sig with a PT-76 Q-trim turbo thru a turbo tech manifold and crossover at 18 psi. With my new Twin kit I'm making, I hope to be able to do that with much less boost because I should have MUCH less backpressure

Not enough info to guess what you will make. What blower? What cam? Head flow? Exhaust, etc. All will infuence hp. And the tranny has a huge influence on measured rwhp, so it's tough to compare unless you specify. M6 will lose ~13%, Auo tranny will depend on converter, anywhere from 17-23% or more.
