Okay, just wondering what you guys think my horsepower will be? A little background, mods, and previous power levels.
This was my first car, got her for my 16th birthday. Went through several stages, to where it finally is now. Currently looking to do some body work and cosmetic upgrades such as 6UL's, Carbon Mirrors, Carbon Trunk lid w/duck bill, and front lip.

My previous set-up made 380/300 @ 25 pounds of boost, these are my current changes I made to my car:
OLD VS NEW
OBX 264/264 Cams 9MM lift-- KELFORD Turbo 272/272 10MM lift
Stock Intake Manifold -- Flipside Custom's manifold w/70MM TB
60-1 .48 Journal Bearing -- PTE Billet 5857 .63 Hotside Ball Bearing
ETD Shorty Manifold -- ARTech Ramhorn Manifold
2.5/3.0" Downpipe -- ARTech 3" turbo back downpipe
Ebay FMIC -- ETS Custom FMIC 3.5" Core
2.5" IC piping longer route -- 3" cold side, 2.5" hot side short running
With that being said, I am getting the car tuned this Friday at Sound Performance, I changed from AMS due to wanting my car done sooner. Sound Performance is well known in the Supra Community. The car will be tuned at 20 Pounds of boost on 93, and next year will be stepping up to E85 for real power numbers at 30-35 PSI
Hopefully this will be the highest horsepower 1.6L B6 in the Country/World? (Documented of course)

you should be able to hit 600 with that turbo, but to take advantage of the billet wheel your going to need to run more than 20psi.
my buddy has that turbo with a 0.83 housing or something weird on his 1jz and he made 400hp at 22psi but the rest of the engine was factory... he ran out of fuel too.
those billet wheels are meant to flow crazy amounts of boost (you should be aiming to pressurize your engine to 30-32psi)
at 20psi i can see you making 398whp and 272 ft lbs.
