how much power should i make???

[ocbaud]

just a rough guess, think i could hit 300rwhp???


the mods in my sig +
VT stage 1's
Longtubes
dyno tune


last time i dynoed i was at 240rwhp & 282ft/lbs

 

[sgarlic]

I'm going to guess 280ish.

 

[HoustonGT]

I'd say maybe 280. get a plenum, tb, and maybe some u/d pullies and you could get close to 300.

Is it just me or is 240rwhp a bit low?

yes a little low

i already plan on a accufab plenum/75mm tb towards the end of summer.

 

[Pennywise2]

I guess 280-290 rwhp. Your current 240rwhp seems low to me too.
You should do the plenum and TB if you can.

 

[loosescrew79]

I think 240 sucks. My car made 234 with a catback and CIA.

I always thought that heads would give a better hp gain.

Get the plenum and t/b and stick her back on the dyno

 

[01Steeda]

I dont think youll see 300 without heads.

 

[lvmustanggt]

what about me ? I am thinking to get stage 2 cams ? Look at my signature for my mods.

Thanks

I think with longtubes and cams you'll definitely see 300. 35rwhp from LT's and Stage 2 cams is very plausible

i only put down 241rwhp and 280rwtq and i had x pipe, catback, cai, plenum/tb..... that is without a tune. so your numbers are fine unless mine were really low. i think you might see 290rwhp. not 300 though.

lvmustangt your numbers very high for the few mods you have.

 

[ocbaud]

had another member of my club pull 250hp and 295ft/lbs with JLT intake, midpipe, and cat back, but also with a diablo tuner.

Jeez, those numbers are kinda crappy. I guess it depends on the car

I live by you. where are you getting dynod at? with my mods in my sig and 13 degrees of timing with 100 miles on my motor i pulled 297rwhp and 327 trq.Hopefully with alot more timing in it I will pull more next time i dyno.Your best choice would be VT stage 2's or Comp XE 270's if you want to get to 300 without ported heads.Maybe ill see you on the road sometime I work at Bob Howard in Edmond.

Eric this is Michael Nichols by the way.I just checked out your profile and realized this was you.

 

[blackink00]

haha, sweet. whats up mike?

we dynoed at Alternative motorsports. probably end up going to another place next time i get it dynoed.

i'm thinking about the stage 2's but then i would have to have someone install them cause the valve springs needing replaced. teh stage 1's i can do myself

Not crap man just livin the dream!HP racing built my motor and dynoed it.I would reccommend using bryan up there to tune your car next time you do it. It would be well worth it though to go ahead and change your valve springs and get the stage 2's. Just glad you didnt say you were getting your car tuned by powerhouse.

 

['03GTinFLA]

yes a little low

i already plan on a accufab plenum/75mm tb towards the end of summer.

I may have missed it but what did you dyno on? Mustang or dynojet. Makes a big difference in numbers.

DUDE! we gotta get together sometime, i wanna see what you're black bullitts look like on my car!
