How Many Horses??

[astec82]

SUP PEOPLE IM NEW TO THIS SITE, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE KNEW APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY HORSES IM PUSHING ON MY 00 GT!! I HAVE 80MM MASS AIR, COLD AIR INTAKE, 70MM THROTTLE BODY, TFS INTAKE PLENUM, LONG TUBES, X PIPE, 40 SERIES MUFFLERS, 3:73 GEARS, AND SPEC STAGE 2 CLUTCH! DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA?? I HAVENT HAD THE CHANCE TO GO TO THE TRACK EITHER!!

I think your capslock key may be broken... With those mods I would estimate you at 265hp, 13.9 sec quarter mile @ 101mph.

Welcome! Now please TURN OFF CAPS (people will think you are YELLING!)
I'd guess around 245 to the wheels...should get you down the 1320 in the high 13's.

 

[astec82]

my bad!!

 

[astec82]

LOL - They paid the dyno operator to give 'em good numbers.
Seriously, all dynos are different, all cars are different and weather plays a contributing factor. But, on average, I think you'd find the 99-04 would dyno from 220-235 RWHP bone stock. Figuring that the MAF (which, I'd guess is a C&L (and should be used as a paperweight only)) is worth a totally unreliable 5 HP, CAI 2-3 HP, TB & Plenum 6-8 HP, LTs, X pipe and muffs 15-20 HP. OK, so I'll bump my estimate up to 250. Don't get fixated on dyno numbers though. And it's not all about peak HP. How well can you launch, what kinda 60 ft time can you get and what kind of 1/8th or 1/4 mile time can you crank out? That's what it's all about.

Estimates are well, estimates... Take it to the track, have it dyno'd...

the only thing i want is to not be getting punked by craperos and other gms! so what other mods can i go with to bump up, before getting a sc??

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Predator... Also, how long has it been since you did some preventitive maintenance?

 

[astec82]

oh **** bro!! i keep up my regular maintenance, i bought the car with only 49,000 miles, i only have 64,700 right now, so its still practically new!! all my maintenance is pretty much kept up well!

 

[twogts4us]

67 thou and practically new? Hell, my 02 must be a toddler then at 30K. (just kidding ya bro!) Seriously, if taken care of, a V8 will, typically, outlast a smaller, higher revving motor. BUT, if used and abused, it'll waste away and fall apart just like any other.
And I'd watch out for some of those GMs out there. Yeah, they suck...but the LS1 is flat out fast.
To really get the most of what you've got - yep, the Prediator or, my preference, the SCT XCalibrator.

high 13s??? 13.9??? you can hit that bone stock if you know how to drive half way

 

[jimfitzgerald]

Stock 260 at the crank plus a few mods = 290 at the crank, maybe
Stock 220 at the wheels plus a few mods = 245 at the wheels, maybe

I just hit 20,000 on my 00' GT and I was mad when that happened.

Things just get better once you put the SC on.

 

[astec82]

does anyone know how to fix the seatbelts on my 00 gt? theyre like all twisted, and they just hang there, they dont retract, it pisses me off!! ive had them like that for awhile now!!
