You want to make as much power in the rpm range your car will mostly be in based on shift points and tranny gear ratios. 312rwhp is nice for bragging rights at the bench races... but trust me you'd rather have a car that is faster on the street and track than to have some nice rwhp number to spit out to your friends when they ask... I'd rather have my car with 290rwhp that will outrun a 300+rwhp and lighter car at the track/street, but that's me and that's where I drive the car, not on the dyno.
Killercanary said:That is a question that can not be answered, at least not without more details. The beauty in that combo is that it can be/make whatever you want. You will be slightly limited with the regualr performer in terms of powerband range, but that's not a bad thing. If you want a nice subtle daily driver, then it might make power at around 5300-5500 and make probably between 270-300 to the wheels. If you want to go one the wild side you could have it scream and peak around 6300-6500 with a performer RPM. Redline has more to do with the shortblock than the top end pakcage on it. With these parts it will actually rev and make power to say 6000+ depending on the intake and cam specs. Do NOT get hung up on peak RWHP numbers, they really don't mean much.

What kind of setup do you want? What's the car's weight? What rear gears are you willing to go with? These are all questions you need to ask yourself first, then your questions will get more accurate answers.

Killercanary said:My point was that there are several H/C/I cars running around with 300+rwhp in their sigs, but their times are not reflecting it.
Why will the cam swap cost you $500??? Did you already have the cam? Is so, I probably wouldn't have changed it either, at least not until I see how it performs.
And as for saying you'll have a few more HP on him... best of luck to you, but that's a pretty bold statement that may be "premature"
I think the problem is most likely the driver.Imyourzero said:That I agree with...but is it the combo, or the driver? Take HairyCanary for example. His best time with the AFR/FTI combo was 13.4 IIRC. Now, that's 1.1 seconds slower than your combo, and he even has a light(er) coupe. Would it be correct to say that his combo won't allow for more, or that he needs more practice at the track? I would guess the latter, unless his car has issues of some sort.
