Default Power question

I'm sure it has been covered here before, but what type of power gains am I looking at in turning my P1SC1 up from its current 50,000rpm to max at 65,000. I have heard mixed answers from "it will make a lot more" to "you'll just be blowing hot air and not making power". Car has forged bottom, 9.5:1, ECS Big Blower cam, long tubes, no cats, GHL exhaust, 60lb injectors, BAP, and meth. It dyno'd 656whp at Vengeance and I'm just trying to get real world opinions from someone who has done it. Should I pump up the P1 or look at spending money on a bigger head unit? Thank y'all for your time.

Pump it up, you'll make more for sure. You have the motor and meth to deal with it and increasing boost is cheap compared to changing the head unit.

If you're not satisfied then eat the swap.

Depends how much more power you want. Since the blower has a lot more in it max it out and see if it's enough for you.

Isnt the P1SC1 similar to a V3? If so you should be able to hit 700rwhp

The P1SC1 is rated to 65,000 RPM so you should still be making power at that level.

It's a 1200cfm blower if I remember correctly. Should be good for 700-750rwhp on the stock motor.
