280-340 HP build

**patturlington** · 04-05-2008

Any one know of a build that would give me between 280-340 horsepower? I don't want to much because it's going to be street driven daily driver; but i do want enough to spank some GT's with out spending a small fortune. Any help would be appreciated.

-thanks.

Since you're posting in the supercharged area, I assume you already have a GTP. What's stopping you from beating GTs now? That's a 40-60HP difference depending on what series motor you have.

Im wondering if he didnt mean Mustang GT's.

Turbo. Done.

Don't take much to hit 280 Intake, Ubend, pulley and reflash. Call all be done for less than 500 and will put you in the Low 13 high 12's

whoa!

intake, ubend delete, pcm, and A PULLEY?! youre crazy man. that thing will knock like a beast and will most likely be slower than it was stock.

supporting mods are completely necessary for any pulley drop, whether it be a 3.6 or a 2.8. honestly, dont tell people they can get away with something that crazy.

280 is cam territory,300 is cam/full size intercool stuff and 340 is more like cam/full size ic/heads/ genv. We are of course talking fwhp not crank.

alot of people say diff things....the write up on this site says if u do the ubend, dp,pcm,180 stat,then u will be able to drop to a 3.4 pulley wich would then give u a high 13 in the 1/4.........is the write up wrong ??????????

**bayareagtp** · 04-07-2008

i have a lot of those mods w/pcm and i am thinking maybe high-mid 14's as of now maybe low 14's with a 3.5 pulley

i also beat a stage 1 roush on the freeway unless he didnt know how to drive

? i also barely got beat by a late 90's vette (LS1) unless he didnt know how to drive either (lost by : h is rear bumper was at my front)

**Bio248** · 04-07-2008

i would guess with my mods and a (badly needed) good tune i could run around the 13.4-13.7 range.

with the ssic and 3.2 im shooting for 13.1 ish.

The Plog (PowerLog) replaces the front manifold.

The DP (down pipe) is what joins the rear manifold to the catback system. It's named the down pipe because it travels down from the engine under the car.

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.

**Bio248** · 04-07-2008

^^ exactly.

**kingd44** · 04-07-2008

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

Gonna need a full bolt on car, an then take a look at this link an pic your poison for the major mods. Cam, IC, Heads combo.

CGP-HP - Cam Chart
Top 5 HP at the wheels cars per Cam. Many with G5 Blowers, IC's An some with heads on top of all that (only major mods listed). An these are the 5 highest recorded cars. So for the most part expect it to take more then whats listed to get those numbers.

An don't forget about anomalies like Vogel an JohnC (just examples) who tinker with everything shaving ounces off of places sometimes, inventing new one off mods ect.
