Old magazine tests for 94-95 GT's

What cam are you going with to get 375rwhp through an AODE? Thats going to be really hard to reach. My good friend has a 331 with Stage 2 ported Trick Flow heads and intake, along with a FTI custom ground cam. He put out 340rwhp through a TKO and he had a proffessional tune.

Also just to clarify, the owners of Fox Lake told me that most GT-40X heads they see flow less than 200cfm on the intake side. More like 195cfm.

(is that good friend moneypit?) I would tend to agree, a 331 stroker will get you 10% more hp (avg of course) than a similar 306..

 

[zenboy99]

No its a friend of mine from Wisconsin who has a very similar combo to moneypit.

Moneypit made ~340 at the wheels too didn't he?

My car is a 5 speed what's difference between and aode and my car as far as the HP.

 

[zenboy99]

~2-4%

 

[eddienyr]

is that 2-4% more HP

 

[zenboy99]

Yes, 5 speeds generally don't rob as much horsepower as automatics.

14.2 at 99mph with just underdrive pullies, homemade cai, and hacked off the mufflers....on a 275 40-17 Radial Tire...with 110,000 miles on it. Is that wierd?

over .500 (don't remember the exact figure) the guy i'm building it with built the same combo and saw over 400rwhp through a t-5, so we figure 375 or so should be a safe guess for an AODE.

eddienyr - an AODE has more parasitic loss through the tranny.

hey, I don't want to ask for free advice, but, I can't resist.. I respect your opinions on stock intakes, etc.. but I was wondering, what is the ratio of head-flow to intake flow that is optimal.. ie: do you want the heads to outflow the intake, or, be equal in flow, or have the intake outflow the heads? (I know there is much more to this, ie: AFR heads flow similar to the new Z head from ford but dyno's more) but just curious if there is any kind of rule of thumb !

TX

Matching the flows is the best in my opinion but a few cfm either side for either piece probably won't hurt a lot.
