Got my car running recently and I was too use to my LT1, this is a whole nother ball game.

What do you guys think I'm making rwhp wise? All I know is I'm running enough that my 275/40-17's aren't hooking worth a ****. I was thinking ~325...

Mods in sig...

What tires do you recommend, i was thinking the same size as above MT DR's

I'm thinking about getting Firehawk wheels which would put me around ~330rwhp..

Get some 17x11's for the rear and slap some 315/35 Nitto DR's on that thing. Problem solved.

Your best bet...
Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial, 275/40R17, 26" tall
Problem solved. Nittos don't even come close.

I agree with the 330RWHP. Basically you'll put down the same numbers as an '01-'02 stock plus a ported TB and mac mids and cut out. Oh and the MAF might give you minimal gains. At most I would guess 335 on a DJ.

the UD pulley add anything? I'de be happy w/ 5rwhp!

What? Since when do you get more power with wheels?

Question: Why didn't you put a cam in when you had to change the oil pump or the chain? The only power adders I see are the Intake, TB, cutout, ASP underdrive pulley, and the not so powerful mac mid-lengths. If you ask me it is more like 300-310. I have dynoed about 600 f-bodies over the last 2 years and 98's were also down on power from the get go compared to 99-02.

Not trying to be a dick, just being honest.

If you want real power, finish out the rest of the bolt-ons, and go with a new set of heads and a cam to match. Then you are looking at 380-390 or possibly 400+ depending on combo.

I'll break it down:
I had a '98 T/A dyno 311 with borla and free mods (free ram air, TB bypass, EGR mod). You've got a cutout plus macs so I'll give you at least 5 more over the stock manifolds and borla plus the LS6 manifold for at least another 5, ported TB for about 3 (being conservative) and UD pulley for about 5. That's about 18 more than my 311 for a total of 329 You didn't mention having a lid or not. If you do then that's another solid 5 for around 330-335. Some things to consider are that not all dynos are the same. That being said I still stand behind my 330-335 prediction. Good luck and let us know.

Also, not all cars are the same. There are some factory freaks that are 310 STOCK. And there are some that are cammed with 330. I have seen it on few occaisions. All my post really did was just let him know that it can happen. Not saying that it will.

slow trap

that is true but this guy has an a4 and a 8.8 with 3.73 cogs also. even locked the a4 will be down a few horses to the m6,correct ? i'll say 320-325 rw.

Yeah, 330 is pretty high for an a4 with few bolt ons...It can be done. But it is high.


Seriously. This guy already has a suspension that will probably land him a good ET. Who really cares about numbers anyway?

I was waiting for that...here is the reason.

I live in CA and this state is full of many fartards when it comes to smog. I put this car back together stock and I'm very lucky that my county does not do the two year smog BS.

So what I did was everything that I could do the strengthen the motor and make it pretty, but still pass smog.

Now when I do my heads/cam AFTER my one and only smog i will only have to do lifters and pushrods. May be stupid but that was my reasoning. It's a second car so a little garage time is just fine. Since I did everything myself I know I can do it again.

The wheel thing was a joke obviously...

btw I plan on doing the stage 1 or 2 LS6 heads and MS4

I do have an SLP lid, its also got the free ram air mod, no EGR, the macs are ported.

This car (even loosing traction) pulls like a mf'er and handles like a wet dream, omg. Talk about solid, even and straight.

Then again I'm use to a nearly stock LT1.

oh and I forgot to mention this is a '00 LS1 motor, w/ the 28.8 injectors I already had.

With the H/C mentioned earlier are 42lbers too much? I got a killer deal...

Red99TA

iTrader: (11)

I didn't even notice the 8.8 and yes that combined with the auto will rob some power vs. an M6 w/ a 10 bolt. The reason one guy said 98's were down on power is b/c of the heads they came with. New prediction: 325

kawasakiklx

iTrader: (8)

Yeah kinda what I'm thinking after the input from everyone. I heard the 98's were down a little in power but I ended up w/ the 00 motor instead. I did upgrade the injectors back to the 28.8's too.

Thank for the info!
