I got 82-83 out my non stepped 38 Fever, runnin thru Huber trannies and ssm drives, with 468CI based mills! I can see those engines pictured making 650HP with some added boost if everything else stock. If I can hit 83 with no steps, and about the same power, i can see a newer twin step with bravo's well into the 90's.

Not sure what you mean. Normally, when installing intercoolers you will lose boost psi on the gauge. This is due to the cooler air filling the cylinders better, and the restriction of the cooler itself. You can gain 75hp by adding a chiller, but from what I have seen, you only see the real gains when you crank up the boost, say from 4psi to 7psi.

Changed my constant? You need to get out of that computer run speed calculator and into the real world. Those things are only good for amusement on a saturday afternoon in mid January.
I've run four different sets of props in the last two weekends with very close top end results. None of them would play into a computer speed calculator and end up close to the same number.

P.S. A 38 sonic would wiegh 12 thousand pounds and run about 65 with the same power.
