of course the hp ratings would be approximate, but would help to inform noobs like myself of all the things(including the little ones) to safely achieve a certain hp level. I know these lists would vary slightly between VIII's and IX's.

my friend has an srt-4 and they have a sticky thread on how to get 300whp on the stock turbo.

there has to be plenty of experienced shop owners that could make close estimates of what mods would be needed.

400whp+ can be achieved easily by

fp green / bbk
3" TBE
Forge rs bov
Hallman pro mbc
Walbro255
880 inj
LICP

Thats basically all it takes. a non restrictive exhaust + enough fuel delivery + more airflow (bigger turbo) + proper tuning + no boost leaks

Then for tuning

ECUFlash
Tephra mod
Evoscan + datacable
Wideband

Then id put tbolts on the piping for reassurance.

you could probably hit 400 on stock evo 9 turbo also with good cams added to the list.

2006 Evolution IX MR 30k on the motor.
How much should I make on my current setup with an FP Black.

TBE 3" exhaust
Ported turbo manifold
DNP port 02 housing
DTM 3.5" FMIC
ETS IC piping (ordering soon)
Ported intake manifold
ported/blueprinted head
Cosworth M3's (280/272)
will be getting 65mm throttle body
stock block

I know I'll need injectors to complete my setup but just want to know how much I should expect. Trying to decide between getting an HTA35R kit or an FP Black. The car is being built for track and weekend street cruises. It is not a daily driver for the most part.

This is a great start.

On DSMTalk.com they also have a stickey on how to get 400 HP. Perhaps the powers that be could do that here as well.

My friend made 620 whp on pump gas at 31psi...Also 500 whp is fine on a stock block with a good tune.

Hp should not matter (of course proper tuning plays a role), but with hp you are going to make tq and tq = force x area and thus eventually the connecting rod will snap. It' sees bending forces and that's why when you exam a broken con rod it usually has an angle leading up to the broken part. I blew my first motor on 420wtq btw.
