I'd say about you'll see 245 to 260 N/A with torque in the 280 ft-lb range. IMHO a 175 dry shot is way too much for this. I'd limit it to about a 100 shot and still pull about 4-degrees. The computer's gonna put you at about 27 to 29 degrees total by 2700 rpm. If you go for the 175 shot, put it on a dyno first, pull at least 10-degrees to be safe, chase your A/F first then add back in a few degrees. I'd still be looking to pull about 8-degrees at the 175 level though if the A/F is good because you're gonna be taxing those injectors.
