Hi,
Seem to be stuck at 281rwhp, really want over 300rwhp but, don't want to use nitrous and a Vortech is way to expensive, are there any mods I am missing ?? Not dynoed since I put a Catted H-pipe on figure 10 more HP making 291rwhp getting close??

maybe try some longtubes, and if going back into the motor is an option get a custom cam. has anyone dynoed the afs with an off the shelf grind, just wondering what HP diff. the custom cam would create


just a thought

Hi,
Thought of a custom cam .... wonder how much difference in HP is in a cam change?

I just noticed something on your dyno chart, it seems to still be climbing at 5500, where it looked like they shut it down, maybe you need a higher flowing intake such as the edelbrock performer rpm, I would also say that the cam in your car (as i said b4) isn't large enough i don't think to make those heads shine. If you bought a tweecer, and a really large cam ( hence the tweecer) you could get very good driveability, and pick up your power possibly more than you needed to hit 300

READ this months 5.0
Long tubes will NOT get him any closer to 300 (well maybe 1 or 2 HP)
How about a matching cam, like the TFS Stage 1.

In reality, there are very few guys around here with 94/95's that have dynoed over 300 without blower or NOS. Killer's car is Killer and he's not at 300.

I would say Keep your mods, get them working the best they can for your setup, and just work on driving. I would rather be running under 12.5 with under 300 HP then have 325 and just crack into the 12's.

is that a bullet pro-m 75? I'm not a fan of those, get a 77mm pro-m and 70mm t-body, port your intake/heads, and get a custom cam.. ed curtis..

IMHO

Well you are probably right.... just enjoy and practice my launches, the car does run strong and is fun and I guess that is what life is about having FUN! Numbers don't mean that much, just was set on being over 300rwhp... Thought there might be something simple that I was missing to get me there..

dont spend a fortune changing anything yet, (like the cam especially for a TFS1 bad idea).

Tuning, Tuning, Tuning, Tuning. Maybe a better intake, if anything as far as hard parts.
It should put out a bit more power and hopefully the magic # but who knows.

youve got to be running better than a 14.7 @97 though,

Are you saying that cause our cars are 94-95, that is some kind of reason for us not to be able to hit the 300 RWHP mark?

Take the bend off the MAC cold air kit. Bolt the air filter onto the meter and connect the meter to the short peice coming off the throttle body. That should give a few HP. Off road pipe over the cats would get you there. When emission come then put the catted pipe back on until the test is over.

Do a search for white94 on the corral. He has TW heads, FTI cam and is at 320rwhp and trapped 110 on street tires. His combo is one I'd mimick if I were you.

Go with an off-road pipe instead of the cats. Also what type of intake are you running? If you are still running the stock POS, a port-matched TrickFlow Street or Edelbrock Performer would get you there.
