Lightbulb overbuilt 1.6 needs reality check

I've been trying to search for 1.6 B6ZE dyno graphs that'll help me get a realistic idea of what I should be expecting. My car is used primarily for drifting and street driving. The engine previously made 385HP and 290TQ on E54, but this refresh is updating a lot of outdated parts, or adding more upgrades.
Do we have anything to compare a build like this to?

1993 1.6 B6ZE:
GTX2867 T3 .63AR
Action Fab 1.25" runner turbo manifold
38MM Tial wastegate

3" full exhaust
RZ crew intake manifold
B16 68mm throttle body

M-tuned fuel rail
Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors
Supertech 10.6:1 0.040 pistons
Manley rods
ACL bearings
ARP 2000 head studs
ARP main studs
Supertech 70lb dual valve spring kit
Supertech +1mm valves
Supertech solid lifters
Fab9 manganese valve guides

Fab9 264* camshafts
Fidanza adjustable camshaft gears
Cometic head gasket 0.40
Boundary oil pump
Circuit Sports oil pan baffle
PR coolant reroute with swirl pot
Super Miata crank pulley
Gates racing timing belt
LS2 coil packs
SR20 CAS wheel
GM inlet air temperature sensor
GM coolant sensor
GM flex fuel sensor
Link Monsoon X
Adamat performance twin disk
Adamat performance transmission adapter
BMW ZF S5D-320Z


Picture of the 1.6 before refresh, this picture is not up to date.

a stupid 1.6

This was the original tune. 407HP & 331TQ @30psi on E85 with 8.5:1 pistons.


A new engine was built and made 385HP & 290TQ @23PSI on E54 with 10.6:1 pistons.

Both were tuned by UMS tuning in Tempe, Arizona on a Dynapack.
