Default Can a small 16g support 300whp?

Yeah I searched, all I came up with is that a small 16g flows about 505 cfm. Is that enough for 300fwhp?

i believe a good rough estimate is 150cfm will support 100horsepower?

i could be wrong, read that on an internet forum :P

I was able to google up some old threads on some DSM Forum (I tried to before I posted, really I did) and there are a few making around 310-320whp with the small 16g. A lot of them using it say they like it a lot, fast spool and holds good to red line.

If people can make a lil over 300 on the stock srt-4 turbo, then its safe to say that the small 16g can do the same plus more

It can do 300hp, but just keep in mind that 505cfm is way out towards the end of it's efficiency rating and probably at a very high psi level. Needless to say, it'll act more like a heat pump at those cfm numbers. For all practical purposes it's just a glorified 14b (which only flows about 50cfm less). If you could snag the big 16g it would be a better option.
