Thread: 280-340 HP build

I would say my build is in that range of hp moreso on the 300 hp side. I put the money forth on having a very solid bottom end and stuff you cant easily do later. Trust me, you dont want to make a mistake and damage the engine by trying to get a lot of "easy horsepower" like dropping pulley sizes.

so somebody has to change that write up then cause its gunna mislead people if u guys r right .....right??? lol

Ok to put all of these replies into one easy thing you can read. If you want 300 horsepower at the wheels you are going to need a lot more than just minor bolt ons. If you take a look at my mod list its pretty extensive, I would say thats not even 300 WHP and thats with an XP cam. 300 WHP is running high 12s without a problem. If you are talking crank horsepower then things such as rockers, cold air, downpipe and a tune will get you right in your ballpark.

I'm guessing I'm only around 280whp. I'm running 3.25 pulley, pacesetters, xp cam, ported blower, and so on.

Just to help ya'll with a 1/4 mile time estimation i pulled off a 14.4 with the mods in my sig...no engine tune just tranny and a 2.1 60'

mkay thanks.

well with this horsepower calculator with the mods in my sig and a 1/4 mile time of 14.4 60' time of 2.1 and a trap speed mph of 96.57 and my raceweight being 3735 with driver it gave me a hp estimation of 253.49 at the flywheel....So what i think it is like a 10% reduction from driveline hp loss and that will give you wheel horsepower...guess it would be a close estimate anyway...just google horsepower calculator if anyone needs one


and that is with a tranny tune only...no engine tuning done at the time...just shift points/pressure ect...and no traction in first at all...but i think the calculator figures some of the varibles in as well

I'll hopefully be in the 300hp range soon. Ported m90, ported lim, ssic, 3.2 pulley (3.0 with racegas), powertuned, TOGS with 3 inch back, fwi.. but will prolly jsut run a cone right off the throttle body after the ssic is completed.

Dude, i wouldn't even waste the money. Use the money u'd spend on a dyno and get a pulley or soemthing.

have the dyno run done, it will verify the mods do something, the butt dyno is fine if that's all you want, but I want facts

If you don't mind spending the money, 3800performance.com has thi stage 6 kit for 2500.00. They also have 1-5 for different prices. They're claiming with the 6(with good traction and temp), you should be able to pull high 12's. Seems like a good deal if you ask me, especially with everything you get.....
