I'm not as optimistic as the other guys. Here's how I see it:
190-200 rwhp stock
+ 1.bbk shorty headers = 200-210
+ 2.f303 cam = 205-220
+ 3.gt40 upper & lower intake = 215-235
+ 4.cold air intake = 220-240
+ 5.73mm c&l maf = 225-245
+ 6.msd coil = -
+ 7.msd cap = -
+ 8.underdrive pulleys = 235-255
+ 9.shorty shifter = -
+ 10.3.73 gears = -
+ 11.worked e7 heads = (without details, this is meaningless... My biggest questions would be what size are the valves, and how much compression, unless you have actual flow charts for the heads)
+ 12.stage 3 clutch = -
+ 13.65mm throttle body = 240-260
+ 14.rebuilt motor = -
So there you have it, 240-260 rwhp. Honestly, I would lean towards the low end unless the worked heads are a real performance improvement. Oh yeah, and 110mph in the 1/4 is bull. It's possible to do with those heads, but not unless you're sandbagging and know a hell of a lot more than you're letting on. Where is that number coming from, a G-tech pro or something the previous owner told you? If that's a spec stage 3 clutch, it's serious over kill on your combo. Someone probably wouldn't put a clutch like that on your car unless they were running a decent shot of nitrous, or were planning to do a lot more to the car in the future.
Oh man, if only that were true. Sorry to say dude, but the average person isn't picking up 30-50hp with a few basic bolt ons and a tune....especially with stock heads. Even blown guys aren't picking up that kind of power. In N/A form, with those mods you'd be lucky to see 5-15hp on a good day. Some people pick up less than that and only improve drivability.A tune will net anywhere from 30-50 MORE horsepower, so, without a tune, your estimate is, as I said, right on.
Well, I had a70mm tb, 24lb injectors, gt40 upper and lower, reflashed mam, and an msd digital ignition, shaved gt40 heads, and it made 243 rwhp prior to the tune, and 279 rwhp after on premium fuel with an upgraded fuel pump. I will rummage around to find my dyno sheet (I sold that car) if you don't believe me, or you can ask Paul's High Perfomance about the little purple notchback that could. Even the crew there said 279 rwhp was "respectable for a N/A car". These are the facts. Actually, I was hoping with all the money I had put into THAT motor at the time, I would have at least cracked 300 rwhp, but this is what I got. I won't chime in here anymore till I find my dyno sheets, but I've got no reason to make it up, if I was gonna make up anything I would LIKE to tell you that all that $$$ into my motor got me more than it did, but...
Fast driver, you are right on the money. I had a car with the exact same mods, only difference was I had stock heads milled a bit for higher compression, and a custom tune from Paul's in Jackson mi.
So which is it...stock heads, or GT40? Because your car didn't come stock with GT40's. And like Chris stated...the GT40's are good for about 30hp over the stock E7TE's your car came with.Well, I had a70mm tb, 24lb injectors, gt40 upper and lower, reflashed mam, and an msd digital ignition, shaved gt40 heads, and it made 243 rwhp prior to the tune, and 279 rwhp after on premium fuel with an upgraded fuel pump.
