I have a basically stock 302 with a twin turbo set-up and before i take it to dyno I'm trying to guess what the rwhp will be. I'm hoping for high 300's or 400RWHP. Not going to be WOT every time I drive it so the block should be safe for a minute.

Do you guys think I can hit those numbers. I may have asked this before, but i forget things since i'm off my Meds.

Oh yea and it's and AODE. so I'm gonna lose 20% to the drivetrain.Maybe during the winter the H/C/i stuff will happen.

What makes you think 400 rwhp is going to wreck your block if you get on it alot? It's completely about the tune. Get it tuned right and you will have no problems. My buddys single turbo stock block car puts down around 500 rwhp and he beats the crap out of it all the time and its perfectly fine. He also has a good tune.

My Cobra had over 500rwhp before I bought it with a Vortech supercharger. It was never launched.

You dont want to go over 400rwhp on the stock T5 (or maybe even less) because it may not be able to handle the launches and slamming of gears.

What mods do you have done?

i'm at about 400 rwhp, and dont want to go any more.
Over that point, its just a matter of time.

I'm thinking that if I threw a blower on mine it would more than touch that.

Well thats cool.. We will see, right now the post office is holding me up. Wanting for 1 of my turbos to get to the guy in Canada that rebuilds them. So far it's been like 2 1/2 weeks. Once I get that back I will throw it back in and off to the tuner.

Things I'm looking at getting: Trickflow box intake, 70MM throttle body, 274 comp cam, and some heads not sure who's yet. and NO I can affod a set of AFR's 185.

Maybe when i go to SEMA in vegas i can get a hook up. May come back and start selling all you guys parts at a little over wholesale.

My friends combo is the Cobra Kit from Summit, 4.10 gears, and a supercharger at 11 psi. And that is on his stock block. I think he is reaching 500 now.

yea black but thats with a 418 stroker.

I'm talking about a stock 220hp at the crank 5.0 making 450rwhp by dropping 2 turbos on it. I would be very disappointed if I couldn't do it after H/C/I. With HCI alone guys are making like 330 to the wheels

Redsnake,

Give Jason a yell at Steenracing.com and see what he can get you the AFR's for.

I was skeered to come in this thread... the preview of this thread in the Tech section said "ANYBODY IN HERE TOUCHING" So I didn't go straight to the thread, went to the Talk page to read the rest of the title.

So I guess you were touching yourself.

if you want to turbo to 450rwhp whats the point of doing a H/C/I combo, you can just turn the boost up right?

see sig.


As far as numbers, I wouldnt stress about it. Go to the dyno with a open mind. I've seen way too many people who go expecting big numbers, and find out they are way lower than what they were expecting.

Here is my build up thread from awhile ago and compare it to my numbers. Take it for what its worth.
