I want 300hp (flywheel)

[WANNA_BE_GT]

Well, here is what I have so far:

GT40 heads that have been ported and treated to a 3 angle valve grind
93 cobra upper and lower also ported and gasket matched
1.7 Crane cam Roller Rockers

I have yet to bolt the stuff on, but I am still running the stock headers... What will I need to hit my goal

 

[bgjohnson]

nope not likely, maybe 250-275

 

[WANNA_BE_GT]

well, what more do you think I may need?

 

[larrendeuce]

Wouldn't hurt to add some longtubes, larger maf, electric fan, underdrive pullies, a different cam and get it all tuned

 

[Fox Saleen 163]

He said he wants 300 Flywheel HP. I got 260 flywheel HP with a stock intake and stock heads. If he doesn't hit 300 FWHP with that combo, throw a good cam in there and it will be over that.

 

[cjshelby]

I agree with bgjohnson. I am using the same heads, intake, & 1.7's as you listed, in my current rebuild project along with frpp headers & am expecting 260-280. I would say for your goal you will need a cam & headers along with matching tb & mam.

I just had an electic fan installed last week... and for your info, I was making 205 rear wheel hp stock...

 

[Fox Saleen 163]

I'm putting out 216 rwhp with underdrives, 76mm C&L, and a crappy x-pipe.

With the heads and intake both polished and gasket matched it will be easier to make the power you want. But, I hope you're planning to go to a larger TB, Mass air meter and headers like the others have said or you will be dissapointed with your numbers. Of course, it's not hard to install those bolt ons afterwards.

 

[WANNA_BE_GT]

Well, I did plan on running:

1 5/8 BBK shorty headers
65MM Throttle body
Aluminum UDP's, and
Eliminating the A/C

Due to the fact that I don't have a mass air car, so I don't plan on replacing the mass air meter

 

[Fox Saleen 163]

Hey... don't you know even if you have a speed density you can bolt a big MAF meter somewhere in your engine compartment and gain HP?? It's just like stickers and big wings.

 

[WANNA_BE_GT]

lol, that would be sweet dude

Corey...

Underdrive pulleys are a must..but I agree, your just missing the cam and pulleys to get you to the 290-300 flywheel area. Your stock cam is better then the mass air cars, but nothing like an E cam or something from Trick flow..

BTW..dont eliminate your A/C. Keep it there..just dont use it. Sure you can reinstall it later, but you'll need to recharge it, and its a big hassle. Weighs about 46 lbs...not enough to be concerned about. Remove the spare tire and jack if your concerned about reducing weight..besides, your giggle juice will get your times that you desire...and check your dame PM box!

Very true... Also, your A/C turns off when you are at WOT. Dyno tests have proven that your A/C takes away about .37348732403 hp when it's off.

46lbs is 46lbs, i say. Both of my cars have A/C but neither of them work. They need recharged and i assume they have small leaks after 12 years of use. It would cost me hundreds of dollars to have the system checked, flushed, converted to new refrigerant, and refilled. Not worth it to me since it rarely gets over 80 degrees here.

I plan to pull the A/C compressor and lines off and put on the Ford A/C eliminator. The HVAC stuff will still be in the car but i'll lose a bunch of unnecessary weight, clean up the engine compartment, and reduce the number of hoses running all over the place. Considering i don't use the A/C at all, might as well get rid of it. If i ever want to put it back in i'll be able to and won't be any worse off than i am now. Most likely if i ever decided i needed A/C again i would buy an aftermarket compressor that's designed for R134 instead of converting the compressor that came stock on my car.

 

[IndyBlk5.0]

pretty sure i am right at 300fwhp with my combo...

 

[cjshelby]

Since you are staying sd get a crower 15511 cam,

 

[WANNA_BE_GT]

What are the specs on that cam by the way?

 

[tmoss]

With 1.6 rockers

Crower15511 278°,282° 218°,224° 0.468",0.486'' 114° 1,800 – 6,000 power band

It responds well to 1.7 rockers too

 

[WANNA_BE_GT]

Thanks TMoss, I think I might just have to do that too

 

[cjshelby]

you're welcome
