Ballpark average for a bpu mkiv tt at 15 or 16psi is 350rwhp (= 412hp at the crank) or so.

The stock SMIC can easily take 15 or 16 psi. Although the end-tanks are plasic, you could hold them on with a metal tie-down strap if you had to (it's been tried and it works - but only necessary at 20psi+ on race fuel).

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
