28 psi with meth will EASILY break 400whp on our dyno
most pump gas (24-28psi) BBK's with good bolt ons.. GSC cams, ported exh man, o2 housing, fmic, turboback catless, intake, and ic piping will make 370-400whp on our dyno.
pm me for more thorough info, I dont like it to sound like we are "pitching" a product on here....

Its actually very helpful, I have read through most of the BBK dyno results thread and found SIMILAR setups to mine, give or take a few parts/built motor/E-85 etc. but not my exact setup... nothing quite as helpful as knowing how my setup should do compared to other vehicles that have been on your dyno. I really appreciate your help- Thank you for the quick response! 
I'll shoot you a pm with some other questions about the BBK Full 
Just to compare, here is my stock IX dyno vs. the BBK Lite- we went from 29 psi to 31 psi and obviously used different dynos. Don't mind the tq reading from the dynojet, for some reason or another the sensor wouldn't read correctly. The results def speak for themself
i asked fp about this once and they told me it's not needed and the only reason they started selling an oil feed line is because people were sending theirs in and looked to be in poor condition.

Wow, pretty big discrepancy between those 2 dynos, 60 whp difference!! No joke about their dyno reading a bit low!!! So 400 on the CBRD dyno would be roughly 445-450 on a mustang maybe? Thats pretty F***ing sweet because it meets the power goal I was aiming for perfectly!!!

There has been some really sage advice given throughout this thread. IMO the customer service from CBRD is top notch. PERIOD. When the BBK Full hit the street I had a ton of questions and they were always timely and positive in their responses. That alone speaks volumes to me. I have some time on my hands this week (getting ready for my fourth Iraq deployment) so I plan to do some comparison of the BBK Full and FP Red both on 93-pump at 30PSI. And for grins and giggles, I'll try to find the same comparison of both turbos on E85 since I have a station less than three miles from my house.

#1. Thanks for your service!
Keep your head down#2. I would like to see the results
Just going to throw in my 2 cents...
I was going through what your going through about 1 month ago, the only difference is I run 93 and will not be running meth for now. First thing I can recommend is do your research(which it seems like your doing very well) Secondly, I would go with a CBRD or FP product well before a Tomei just because of both companies customer service.
I chose to go with the Red. It spools a little slower but for what I wanted it better fit my means. I put in a big order with ETS for valvetrain and IC and piping. Buschur is porting out the intake and TB, and FP has the turbo and exhaust mani for porting and coating. I think it is important to recognize the FP and CBRD ar both great companies that will help you make YOUR setup work. For example, I am trying to cuztomize a specific o2 housing set up and FP is doing all they can to make mine work with the Red.
As far as that kind of power on stock block, you should be good. The only thing I would be slightly concerned about is weak rod bolts. Although they are a ***** to install upgraded rod bolts only cost like $45 and to me I'd rather spend the extra time and effort now instead of worrying about throwing a rod later.
CBRD and FP FTW!

ive been running the bbk for a few months now (i think?) and i love the power. great spool, doesnt let up like stock, and you cant beat cbrd for support. chad is always around to help out and that goes a long way in my opinion, and clearly the opinion of others here as well. while i cant compare my bbk to the fpred, i can say that my car feels like a beast (93oct)
