Hey guys, heard back from Rocket after PM'ing him and this is what he said-

Hope you get back soon and get the beast running strong.
Shoot that truck hit 400rwhp a long long time ago. Hehe. I hit that with just a hot tune and the Kenne Bell itself pushing about 8 psi with pretty much everything else stock. I then detuned it to 360rwhp for safety. I haven't had it to a dyno yet but I fully expect to be well over 600rwhp with the mods this thing has on it now. 99-04 Mustang GT's with similar mods have made between 600-650rwhp. I don't make posts on this project anymore because people just got to be pains in the ass about it. Just too many assholes and people that don't understand the nature of this project. I don't even post timeslips or videos of it anymore. I haven't done so for a few years now. Pretty much anything you see about the truck, video or otherwise, is probably 1 1/2 years old or older. I still have the truck and there are still even bigger plans for it but that will come in time. Low 600's at the tires and middle-low 11's was the goal for the truck as of 2 years ago. Since then that goal has gotten more ambitious as well. As of right now the focus is on the G8 though. Good luck with your project. I hope all goes well for you.

Good luck with the G8 and I know that with a H/C/I and tune, they can get to 450whp pretty easy. Are you going to Livernois? for parts or doing your own thing?
Thanks and hope you hang around here.

I am doing twin turbo system with Garrett GT2871R's on the G8. Keeping the boost low and shooting for 500-525rwhp as a daily driver. I never take my car to any other shops to work on. I do all installs and tuning myself. Everything is just waiting to go in right now. I just have to do something for work in the month of August so I expect to tackle the G8 TT system sometime in early September hopefully.
