The set-up is built to do about 650 bhp. But, chances are the clutch will slip before then.

Haven't decided what I am going to do as far as traction. On the street, I am going to run my 205/50-15 T1Rs that are mounted on Heliums. On the strip, I am probably going to mount some 24X8ish slicks. With the T1R's, i was able to hook 300 whp from a roll (even in 2nd Gear) w/o any traction problems whatsoever...I couldn't tell tire slip at all. With the 6 speed and 4.3 gears, I wasn't able to produce enough load to get much boost in first from a roll....but with the 3.6's I'll have to see how it goes.
After I get the car running, I am going to go into financial conservation mode again. I won't be able to track the car until I get a Cage in it, which I don't plan on doing until the beginning of the year. Aside from the cage, I need to get rims/slicks, Race Seat, and harness. I can't think of anything else that I need to replace (unless something breaks....which is quite probable).
I am probably going to keep it pretty low on boost for a while. By low on boost <20 psi. Once I get everything settled and I feel confident, I will move on up into the 30 psi area. At which point I hope to put down in the 525-550whp numbers.
I think I answered your questions plus alot more

205's at 500whp 
yeah that will hook you run those to make smoke on cheap tires right 
So you think a 8 inch slick can handle that power if the suspension is setup right? I would have though you would be getting closer to 9-10 inch power to wieght territory? But i 
much about slicks.

All is good
, My initial reaction was defensive (i'm tired, I am working graveyards this week)...I'm young yeah, but I support myself and my habits.
This set-up has cost a rediculous amount of money. If I put everything together, including the cost of the car, I am probably right at around 30k.
