evo8 how much power can i make?

i have a stock evo8 and i am planning on putting on all buschur racing parts-race fmic and upper and lower ic piping, turbo-back exhaust with no cat with bullet muffler, air intake and filter, manual boost controller, megan racing o2 housing, kelford 272 cams, walboro fuel pump, turbosmart dual port bov. i plan on getting a tune and ecu reflash after all parts installed and then a dyno, just wondering what you think my hp and torque will be? im hoping for around 350 at the wheels. thanks

you should make that much if not more on a dyno jet.

yes you should be able to make at least 350whp.... But you will have to upgrade your valve springs as well. good luck with the build

I'm guessing 350-375 on 93 and 400+ on e85

I'm running 24 psi on my 03 evo viii turbo with no issues, but my flux capacitor is on order and that may change things.

The boost level is not what makes it "unsafe" to do. The tune is what matters. We have no access to 93 in oregon, so i have no clue what would max on 93. I run a 30-31 spike on e85 all the time and have for 3years now on my stocker. Your parts combo will matter as much as the tune. dont kno nothing about buschur parts either. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
