Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) how much HP can be gained?

[zstroken]

how much HP can be gained from Laser cuts DV, 4K GSK, and a #0 plate. THis is assuming the pump isn't starved and I have enough turbo to feed it. ALso lets assume the injectors are not an issue either. I don't need exact numbers, but just like to see some experience with this. THis is on a 180HP off of a 1997 truck

Thanks

over 400, u will need a new turbo if you are going to use all the power. with my old stock motor, 3gsk, 0 plate, 215 injectors and a pdr 40 i made 348 with a leaky headgasket.

with my current mods (see profile) im sitting around 435HP. that was on a leaky HG also. ive since had the head o-ringed/studded with marine . 20 gasket. im still chasing 500-550hp

a 180HP pump... those mods... with a big enough single or set of twins to move enough air to burn alot of that fuel. . and a good tune of your pump/afc housing. . IMHO i would guess around 470-485

I have not dynoed with my new setup yet so i don't have any numbers yet but I have that setup 0 plate, 370's, full cut DV's, 4 GSK, minor pump tweaks with J. R. adkins LIL 55 turbo, head fire-ringed with 0. 20'' marine gasket and ARP 12MM studs. I would guess if I can get turbo to spool quick enough I can hit 500hp right know. This is one real smokey setup but it runs awesome.
