I think you're in the 300-320WHP ballpark. With about the same mods (except the magnus intake) I only made around 290hp on 91 octane. Too bad you don't have access to E85.

edit: even with E85 you'll only be around 350-380WHP.

I'm thinking of e85 too but I now sold my DD and will drive my Evo pretty much every day so I don't want to hassle with having start issue in the negative temperatures. Maybe if I get the modded version of the ecu so I can switch between 93 and e85 then I'll do it. I currently have two stations within reach for e85 now

I should have been more specific. I have gsc s1 cam's and on E85 it put down 410whp and 445wtq. I got all the bolt on's, head studs, and an exedy twin hd. Its possible though!

even with E85, he's gonna have a tough time w/ reaching 400whp... also seems he has a stock clutch. considering he stated he cant even afford to replace that dinky evo8 turbo, he wont have money for a clutchjob either....

lets be realistic... aim for 350whp

I do not seeing you reaching about 375-380awhp on the VIII turbo. Physically, it just cannot be done I do not believe.

Get a BBK. It is Evo 9 turbo housing, just beefed up to run more boost and obtain power at lower rpms.

You won't hit 400WHP without cams.. The Evo8 non mivec cams can't do it.. Check out this video I made.. The car made 383AWHP w/o cams.

can I get some more details on your car. are you still on the 8 turbo. what boost are you running.

I would also like to reach the 375 whp range with stock 8 turbo. I am debating on what cams either gsc s2s or kelford 272's. I will also be on e85.
