You can probably achieve 500 HP on pump gas but it would be close.
I think you'd have to go with a big turbo, big exhaust and a big intake. If you didn't alter your rpm range much then Escape cams may be the best thing.

You may not realize it, but your 70mm TB probably played a significant role in your success on the dyno. Having a low restriction intake is key. I did all my dyno testing with only the 60mm TB for consistency, but I ran around with the 70mm for a good portion of the time. I could tell a real difference when I had it on versus the 60mm.

EXACTLY!

That's why I had the UIM extrude honed, I knew that the inlet from the TB and UIM should be as close as possible in size. . .and guess what, the intercooler outlet fits RIGHT IN the TB, a perfect match again. . . you're right Tom, without your TB, I probably would've hit what Keyser hit, which was like 390fwhp. . .so I guess I could say the Warmonger TB gave me 11fwhp??

I'll try to dig up the dyno on the pump gas, I've got 98 of them (yes, Keith is absolutely nuts, I love him for it).

500hp could be doable, but since it's so quiet and driveable right now, I'm reluctant to muck around with a perfect setup, that and my fiancee would have my nuts if I dumped ANYMORE TIME AND MONEY into the car. . .when you get back though, I might get adventurous. . .
