How much power?

[scupking]

I know I know its another how much power thread. I was very close to ordering custom cams last night from mph. How much power would LTs and stage 2 cams get me? I would like to see 300rwhp.

I don't think through an auto

speaking from experience, I would just save that 1400ish dollars for a mongoose kit. You will get about the same gas mileage and make way more power. I tried that NA route on my old car, and I much prefer the blower route!

Yeah that would be the best thing to do. I will save. Has anyone made 400 rwhp with the mongoose kit?

It'll be difficult making over 400rwhp through an auto unless you up the boost, which could be risky on a stock motor.

But FWIW my GT with the auto trans. and KB 1.7L @ 9 PSI put down 381rwhp, and made 428rwhp when the auto was swapped for a t56. So if you're making 360rwhp, that would be around 400-410 through a manual.

How much was it for the T56 swap?

Even if you don't hit 400 you'll land further than the N/A mods would have taken you, you could also look into building your own kit with a used head unit and all new fuel system/ piping.

just FYI, saying you'd have 405 thru a manual and 360 thru an auto implies an auto is 11% more drivetrain loss than the 5-speed. With 15% of a t45 ot tr3650 that would mean 26% on a 4R70W. It's more like 20-20.5% or 19-19.5% if you rebuilt it with lighter parts. So 405 through a manual would really be closer to 385 through the 4R. The 10.5% you experienced is most likely due to the t56 being a different loss rate or weather conditions as you can relate to with your first dyno run with the new KB

Not tryin to jack your thread, but where do you get a mongoose kit for $1400ish?
