Could I make 350 RWHP with the following:

*Underdrive pulleys
*Roush CAI
*Longtube Headers/X-Pipe
*VT Stage 2 Cams
*Diablo Tune
*Intake Manifold
*Accufab Throttle Body/Plenum


or in other words can I take a Trans Am(stock)?

 

You would be right at 300 rwhp.

 

Dont forget the CatBack!!!!

 

not even close to 350

 

Christie has all of those and got 299rwhp on her last tune.

 

nope. lucky to get 300

 

What intake manifold are you talking about??

 

Close to 300 but definitley not 350. At 300 you should beat a stock Trans Am WS6 or SS Craparo. The non WS6 you can definitley beat with 300 to the wheels. My friend had a 96 TA with a 350 stock 280HP and I would beat him all day long.

 

Even if you had ported heads, you still would not get there. Heads would put you at about 315.

You can't make 350 on these motor without a power adder. The compression is too low. Now you could get a built 4.6L motor with higher compression (around 11:1) and get close to 400 with cams and ported heads.

 

remember that most newer F-body's are about 800lbs heavier than the average 99+ mustang GT coupe. You won't need to match them power for power, just power to weight and driver skill.

Making 350rwhp with a 2V is wildly expensive and is still only 350hp... If you want to whack a camaro, get a blower or a small shot of nitrous.

 

plus they have a ton more c.i. then us. the most i ever saw with a stock short block was mike a local guy here in orlando made 325hp with stock short block ported heads,long tubes full bolt ones and all. Thats the most i have ever heard with stock displacement.

 

Im going to add a stroker kit too

 

if you make right at 300rwhp you should easily beat a LT1 TA, altho with a LS1 TA they are only making 330ish to the wheel, but have a bit more weight than our mustangs do, so 300rwhp would probably be enough to take one.

 

Anyone have #s on a SS?

 

2002 camaro ss

SS: LS1 5.7 V8 320 bhp @ 5200 rpm, 345 lb-ft @ 4400 rpm.
SS: 0-60 in 5.3 seconds, 1/4 mile in 13.7 seconds @ 105.6 mph

 

Thanks

 

I saw a stock sorta high mileage 2000 SS, pump 300 hp to the wheels on a dyno, i was like what tha f**k.

 

Will a stroker kit add alot of power? I want to stroke it to a 5.1L

 

Spray it or boost it and wave good byes at those stock ls1's...

 

i was thinking a 150 wet shot.....

 

With a 150 shot you are taking a risk with your stock plastic intake! If you had a bullitt intake it would be a different story! I'd only go as high as a 125 wet/dry shot just to keep it safe and a good tune to keep your air/fuel in check...

 

yeah ofcourse, I was going to try out that professional intake manifold before adding nitrous.

 

What professional intake?...

 

well to throw my 2 cents in.. I beat a stock auto TA (LS1) before I put the cams in.. it was from a roll.

A Cumarrow SS came in a few months ago at the shop I work at, and had the SLP package. It said 400hp right on the hood, and even had the SS tags inside that said 400hp and 425 pounds of torque.

<pointless story> Power steering lines were leaking, has some suspesnion problems, and the check engine light was on. Of course the last owner of the car (it was a traded in car that being being put out on the used car lot of the dealership) had some sort of unknown brand MAF tuning box connected to the MAF that allowed you to adjust the fuel mixture. The code was an air metering one, i removed the box and reset the codes, the darn light was still on. But they didnt approve me to fix it, and said F it, leave it the way it is. </pointless story>


Either way, nice Fing car all the way around. Id pimp it.

 

How many horses can I get from the VT Stage 2 N/A Cams?

 

depending on mods.. it ranges throughout the powerband.. maximum will be 30-35rwhp and you'll lose some downlow power, but gain a TON (45-50rwhp) past 6krpms
