horsepower

[zeusmoto]

hey guys another question about how much rwhp do you think i am putting to the pavement with this setup?
- vortech s-trim supercharger running about 11 psi (i think)
-gt40 upper and lower manifolds
-k&n cold air
-dual flo's
-80mm mass air meter
-underdrive pulleys
-3.55 rear end
-BBK headers
-msd igntition
-lower profile tires with some racing rims
- a new 4 core racing radiator

also i was wondering what times you think i would be pulling in the 1/4 with these mods?

Just a stab...maybe 320rwhp...and definatly in the 12's for sure...and it might be possible 11's with good traction...

 

[5.0 HOtrain]

I would venture a guess around 350ish rwhp. My friend made 330 with a pullied "A" trim around 9psi on stock head/cam/intake motor.

no way, 11's..??? with 320rwhp!!?? with a 3.55????

is that on a stock 302 block?

what kind of trans?

I say 385rwhp with a 3.73

 

[RacEoHolic330]

Are you using the stock heads?

 

[Blue89gt]

look what im making with my pullied a-trim and totally stock motor..

 

[JuggalotuStang]

hmm..since we're on the topic of horsepower..i always wondered what mine had, if you all could guesstimate, thatd be awsome, all my mods are in my sig. thanks

Another tough as nails 302 How many miles has the s/c been on it? Maybe i'm wrong on the boost level, cory might have had the stock pully and made 330 with 6psi So yeah, maybe 380ish like mentioned above

Umm...I was "obviously" wrong on the horsepower estimate...but you can get in the 11's with 320rwhp with traction no doubt...a 3.55 and 373 aren't that much different...

What did you spend 15,000 on...??? You have about 400 flywheel horsepower but 350 to the wheels...

[93cobra12]

yea sounds good..

but understand there are many things that go with hp.. honestly man, i wouldnt worry about ur hp.. i would worry about putting the hp down to the ground an be able to have traction to run.. honestly, having 350-400 rwhp in a street car is fricken a lot of hp.. if you had a killar suspension kit, no one an i mean 99% of the cars on the street u would smash.. that 1 % is someone who is thinkn on ur page with just more hp.. but worry bout puttting it to the ground.. i cant tell u how many times ive lost to other rides that are n/a against my supercharged 5.0 that was pushen over 400 at the wheels.. It sucks an ur first instinct is to push down the pedal more an that just makes it worse.. Ya feel me !

When you first said that you spent 15,000 and were dissapointed in your horsepower numbers...I thought you meant things like your radiator were going to give you horsepower...lol

I would be happy with you horsepower...seems like it handles good and has dang good power...

 

[zeusmoto]

well thakns a gain guys i feela little better, so if i were to worry about the power being put to the ground what kind of suspension would i be looking for?

 

[5.0 HOtrain]

You still have stock heads/cam. I would still not guess above 380ishRWHP. Besides, at best you are guessing you boost levels. Buy some good heads and a good blower cam to go with that "S" trim and expect RWHP to be around the 500 mark. Also expect to split that thing in half and run you're crank over

 

[5spd GT]

well thakns a gain guys i feela little better, so if i were to worry about the power being put to the ground what kind of suspension would i be looking for?

I'd start off with some nice Upper and Lower Control Arms...

www.maximummotorsports.com sells some good quality products...

 

[zeusmoto]

what would be some nice heads to get and the blower cam, its kind of hard to figure out wehre to get a good one and stuff, so i was alos wondering how do you tell what kind of s/c you have i bought mine off of a guy who blew his engine racing and i am pretty sure it is an s-trim, but i cant tell for sure, anyone have any s/c identification thoughts?
