HP and TQ guesstimates with this setup...

[InFrnt0fU]

3in DDP with full catback, 57 trim upgraded ct26, 550cc, lexus afm, spearco FMIC, hhks bov, KN FIPK kit, MHG with 8.6-1 ratio stock internals. What psi is safe/reliable for the 57 trim upgraded ct26 and factor that in. This is probably gonna be my setup come the end of the year. Thx

Take the cat back off.... do a base line pull with stock boost, find out you're running like 9-10:1..... then crank up the boost till it quits.

I take it this was a stupid question...woups

18 psi safe if all specs in the engine are in the correct tolerances.

Tuned, 350 HP capable easily.

Just what I was looking for, as far as engine specs, what exactly are you referring to.

 

[starscream5000]

Valve shims within the right clearance.
Tolerances between cam caps and cams within spec.
Rod and main bearings within spec.
Compression and leakdown both good.
TPS within spec.
Correctly working KS.
AFM resistance within spec.
Cooling system fully refreshed with new parts.
New oil pump.
Oil pump drive shaft within spec.
Egr system cleaned out.

Basically, making sure you have a fully refreshed engine before you dive into modding your car like that. If you don't, it will break, period.

You couldn't be more helpful, thanks a lot man.

As for your original question, I would expect you to make about 300-330HP on low boost(~10psi) with that setup, provided the engine is fresh, as stated above.
