hey guys i just bought an 02 gt with a paxton 1000 kit and 7500 miles. the sc is the only thing it has done (along with the fuel pump, injectors and chip that came with the kit) i see that paxton claims 360/390 to the wheels. is this true, or should i expect lower numbers? thanks guys

Pics?

Then, get a cat-back, o/r h-pipe, LT headers & a dyno

BLOWNo2 · Oct 19, 2005

well i want to stay in the safe limits of the engine. i just havent had much input on how far i can safely go. im trying to find out if the power numberson paxtons site have actually been proven true. i will have pics in a minute

With nothing else done to the car, expect closer to 360rwhp, than 390rwhp. Depending on what it's pullied for, maybe less. Add intake and exhaust mods to your car though and watch the numbers soar.

BLOWNo2 · Oct 19, 2005

ive read that coming close to 400 hp is gettin a little risky. whats the scoop on that

03ghoststang · Oct 19, 2005

to a certain extent it is risky but then it always comes back to the tune but i would start saving money for forged internals and after that :Track:

BLOWNo2 · Oct 19, 2005

well the tune right now is the paxton chip. what other tune should i get after the exhaust?

jasonh_86 · Oct 19, 2005

You better bring that thing down sometime.. i'd like to see it in action!

yeah but a dyno tune would be better becasue they will get the A/F ratio right where it should be and the spark advance/timing

so do i need the handheld tuner thing or what? or is there another way to adjust all that. i just sold my srt-4 so im used to either having to get a piggyback, stand alone, or a whole new ecu. thanks for the help though guys.

OxMox · Oct 19, 2005

If it's a stock motor, exhaust, intake, cams, etc. I'm going to say somewhere around 330 - 350rwhp... depending on the tune (if it has one) but with some LT headers, o/r h-pipe, cat-back, t-body, cams, you should be in the 400 - 410rwhp area. Yuo can get some forged internals for around 1200 + install from www.propowerparts.com

BLOWNo2 · Oct 19, 2005

i was thinking about a plenum and tb. i heard they yield pretty high gains on s/c motors. i would need a tune after that right?

jasonh_86 · Oct 19, 2005

I'm not sure.. i've got a plenum/tb on mine without a tune.. but it's not blown amnit:

BLOWNo2 · Oct 19, 2005

how would it be tuned on the dyno? do i need the handheld tuner?

OxMox · Oct 19, 2005

Alot of dyno places can tune the A/F ratio and stuff like that with out a hand held tuner but other places need it to be able to do it

BLOWNo2 · Oct 19, 2005

so what are the first mods to go for? plenum tb or catback and h pipe? and what size tb should i go with?

jasonh_86 · Oct 19, 2005

I'm sure either set of mods would be good to do.. i'd go with the midpipe and catback myself, since you'll get a really nice sound and some good gains also

But if you go TB/Plenum.. i'd go with the Accufab 75MM setup looks nice and gets nice gains too

go with a 75mm TB and plenum and as far as a catback i would say any straight thru design like magnaflow, bassani, borla and i would go with an X -pipe but that my opinion if you want the muscle rumble then an H-pipe will do
