Max horsepower on 91 oct(bolt ons only)

No, no. I'm sorry. THe 350 whp number is for an 8 with all the bolt ons. Most dyno around 330-340, but there have been a handful to put down 350 in cooler weather. THe 365 whp is the highest Tuning Technologies has had (IIRC) for an 8 on the stock turbo, but I don't think it was a conservative tune. For example, Shiv's tunes are more conservative than others.

We've made 370whp (on our DD dyno) on CA91oct before. This is 410-420whp on a Dynojet. But this required some work: Stg 2 turbo kit (GT3071), sheet metal intake, 280 cams, cam gears, full exhaust and test-pipe. The car was, by far the strongest, pump gas car we've seen. It just so happened to be mine

The 330whp I put in my sig with the WT/BR package is on the conservative side apparently. So, then add WI to the 91oct and you have your 35-50whp over the VIIIs at TT...
Unfortunatly this is all ricer math until we see both-cam upgraded 9's on cali 91. Should be interesting to see results!

water injection does not add horsepower, it allows you to tune more agressively by cooling the cylinders. this would allow you to run much leaner than normal at higher boost.
