From what I hear you can go around 800 + rwhp with low comp but I could be wrong

That would be awesome. I will be running stock compression and was hoping for 750. even if i had to push the turbos to the limit.

look at the compressor map of one of the turbos, find the peak airflow in lbs/min at the highest efficiency island, and multiply by 20. Thatll give you a rough idea. So if its 50lb/hr, itll be 1000hp. Just a shortcut.
