Horsepower Guesses?
I haven’t been able to take my car to a drag or test it anywhere cali is really strict when it comes to cars like mine catless downpipes, weistec turbos ecu stage 3 and cpc with cold air intakes what would be the whp of my car like best guess?
also any recommendations on HPFP and LPFP on the cheaper end cause spool is asking for a lot.
after this i’m getting my car retuned by AMR for e30 and wmi from weistec

You can take it to a tuning shop with a dyno? Might cost like $125 a pop but at least you'll get some real numbers.
If I had to guess, with your list of mods, probably ~480whp
edit: If you have a dragy, or other high-accuracy gps tracker, you can calculate an estimated whp figure quite accurately.

480 seems kinda low considering what they are advertising +212 hp for turbos, +120-127 for ecu and downpipes lets say we lowball the tunes, whp on base c43 is about 328 lets say ecu give 70 and the the turbos give 150 still will put me over 500

Quit being cheap if you're going to be doing all these modding. You have already spent $6K+ for turbos + tune. Fuel pumps aren't going to be cheap, Spool Performance is best out there and might be the only option for C43.

On this platform for c43/c450 you don't need any of that to go low to mid 11's in the 1/4mile. We are stuck with these times for other reasons. In my opinion you should have found a good tuner first before going all out on turbos, fuel pumps, WMI etc as they are pretty much useless on this platform. You will be disappointed if you are expecting 700whp.

Yeah, not sure where they pull those numbers from but it literally means nothing without knowing their setup and conditions. The first component to swap out after an ECU tune for big numbers on this platform is a fuel pump[s, HPFP/LPFP]. Without those, you won't be pushing anything above 520 even with a full setup. My estimate is mainly based on this premise, but again, it's just a guess. You might have hit 500 but I don't suspect it to be far off of 480whp.
Hi Mav, yes, one of those 1/4mile time hp calculators work. I have used this exact website before and it is very close to my dyno'd numbers.
Spool fuel pumps are the most popular aftermarket solution, we also have members using C63 and E63 OEM pumps. I don't think any C43 will hit 700whp, ever, unless it has a motor swap lol. You will need engine upgrades for anything over 600hp for sure, our open deck design is weak and our pistons soft.

Anyone’s guess is just that, a guess. Your best bet now is to get a Dragy to obtain performance data on your current setup. From there you can modify your setup accordingly.
