Isn't it something like 58 or 61 lbs/min that is maxes at? I can't remember. You can basically take the lbs/min and multiply by 10 to get flywheel hp. I used to max it on my old truck right before the shift at 5800rpm or so, Radix/7.5psi/headers/LQ9.

You really don't need to go to a 2 bar setup right off the bat. A MAF/1 bar tune can handle quite a bit of power even after the MAF is maxed out.
Also, with 2 bar you can't run the MAF from what I understand. It's some issue in the GM code evidently that doesn't play nice. I have seen the problem first hand on my new truck when I tried to go MAF/2bar.
