Lots!!!! Sorry but I could not resist. Most 01s come at 330 RWHP... Hmmm 100 for a non IC blower, but H/C package (esp a blower specific cam) could be good for maybe 100 more. 530 or 540??? Maybe try the FI forum. Good luck and your car sounds very strong Please post up what your results
Dave
PS I think my 01 puts down maybe 350, but I will find out soon with a tune at CAM

Yup thats me, way optimistic... I am not a big fan of the dyno, as I have run a few 500RWHP cobras (well one 500 the other 460) and my slow 01 walked them in 3rd from 6k to 6.5k at the strip. What kind of times, or better yet what trap speed is your z putting down? There was a few blown z's at the fes a few weeks ago at the NCM and they where trapping at 120ish MPH. Nomercy's 422 (didn't spray) was peadling his car in 1st and 2nd but trapped at 125...

on this Forum check out the Forced Induction section, you'll find lots of similar species as yourself ... in fact there is a thread asking folks with Mags your same question ... seems folks with similar set-up as you were in the 475 to 500 rwhp....but rwhp numbers influenced by quality of tuning and gas octane used during dyno (100 vs 91)....great section for info and lots of very knowledgeable SC folks.

At just over 5,000 miles on 93 octane, my stock '01 dyno'd at 339 rwhp and 340 rwt. I think a blower should add quite a bit to that,
