Thread: 2001 SE cleans a WRX

ill run him in my gtp.

Dude no way, he will beat you!

yea i know, but i wont be able 2 live with myself unless i try.

Nothing good, but it would be in line with the claimed WRX.

I guess I'll say:

SLP Loud Mouth 1 Cat Back
SLP Ram Air Hood
SLP Ram Air Intake
K&N Filter
Mid America Motor Works MAF Housing
Some performance gas shocks I don't remember

Nothing amazing but headers and Y-Pipe coming this summer. Might do some minor weight reduction in turn redoing the looks of the interior.

I like the looks of your motor in the avatar. Is that yours and what is it?

427 sbc with dual stage fogger. If you're interested in one you can go to nitrous express and look at one they are like 1800. I would advise against it though because buddy you have to master the art of flaring and bending brake line.

Haha, nah, I'm okay on that. My plan on this car is going as far as I can go with the basic LT1 without FI. After the headers and Y-Pipe I'm going to start "backwards" and work on the trans, rear end and suspension before going further on the motor. Forgot to mention it's an A4.

Sick motor btw.

Above all...get Dave @ Triple Edge Performance to build you a transmission

If I remember that 4 years from now, okay.

Me too, I wanna see his Grand Prix SE beat my TA. For how hard he pulled on that WRX he should pull just as hard on me.

I know he's not reading this... but this thread was gold.

LT1 ftl... sorry man, but if ever there was an underpowered engine put in the corvette, it was that one. curious (because i'm lame and skipped reading) how much power are you actually putting out?

Worst motor put in a Vette is by far the Crossfire Injection motor. I know, I had one.

Never ran a dyno but my educated guess would be 280 rwhp?

considering there 285 flywheel horsepower from the factory i highly doubt that.

I didn't want to post my thoughts because I know someone would beg to differ. I'm not going to argue with you because there is no Dyno sheet. But I've seen stock LT1's run 290 whp on a dyno. Not every engine is the same out of the factory. In fact many late LT1s do 270 whp. My car isn't exactly modded to a high extent but it should come close to those numbers.

I've done my research, and I should be doing 115 in the eight!!!!!

1970 LT-1s were pretty nice. I'm pretty sure he's talking about the 92 - 97 version, mine. I disagree severely that the LT-1 was the worst motor for the Vette. In fact people have even done really cool things with the Crossfire motor in the 84 Corvette. However, I do agree that the optispark is both a blessing and a curse.
