How much wattage can 3 60" T-5 bulbs be overdriven?

Sorry- with a 660 ballast?

The 80 watt 5 foot T5 HO lamps will run at about 100 watts each with the 660 ballast. Just make sure to use a cooling fan on the lamps to extend lamp life.

and you can only run three 60" bulbs on a 660 if I'm not mistaken.
