I'll take a swing at it.
In general:
Stock: 260HP @ the crank
Tuned: ~310HP @wheels w/tune but no mods
Tuned+mods: 320HP+ @wheels
Turbo swap: 330HP-500HP+ @wheels
The torque numbers are where the LNFs shines. The turbo is a bit too small to have flashy HP numbers, since peak HP numbers are usually at higher RPMs. Once you do a turbo swap to a turbo that can flow well at high RPMs, then that's when you get crazy HP numbers.
Remember HP isn't everything. I've beaten cars with much more power than me simply because of weight, drivetrain, or driver factors.

If that is something somebody told you they were getting, that it highly unlikely without some extensive mods... even with a large shot of nitrous with those mods, in my opinion.

How did you beat 500hp cars? I got walked by a 500hp mustang cobra...twice. Once at 20mph and again at 40mph. And those pulls are where our cars shine. He didn't walk me bad, but he did walk me.
