As of now I dont want nitrous or heads I want all motor With everthing Ive got i should have 400hp or should I my car dynoed at 390rwhp on dyno jet

With a good set of ported LS6 heads or better you should have 400HP with no problem

i just had mine tuned today but i have a 1998 i got 381 rwhp i got the torquer v2 cam from tsp its a 232/234 .595 .598 112 lsa i put a ls6 intake on her too, i am thinking about pulley, electric water pump and ported throttle body next. i badly want to hit 400 rwhp with this cam on the 98 heads its like a personal goal now

ive heard that i should get over 400hp with just bolt ons only but im not sure if thats true but ima go with an intake and see what that will do what u think?

id go with LS6 heads, cam maybe a good set of headers would put you little over 400

got milk??

are you running a ls6 intake or ls1? that right there should get you over 400 if your at 395 now and with the ls1.

he just said he didn't want to buy heads, and he already has a cam and headers. I know he didn't post that he has headers but I have raced this car. He is in my car club and I know he has headers.

oops didnt read the buttom my bad

np, maybe you can offer up another suggestion for him now. I just think you should go with the LS6 intake Kent. IMO if that doesn't put you right at 400hp, then you might as just come off the hip for some heads.

I missed that too!!

So he has headers....still have cats? What kind of exhaust? Maybe true duals with no cats will get er done.

LS6 intake might do it.. if not, go crazy and get an EWP. Those 2 together would definately put you over 400.

LS6 intake or Fast intake manifold, and how is putting heads on considered not all motor??? I would say get the Ported LS6 heads from TSP.

MrDavid

he has headers with and ORY and cutouts right after them. He dyno'ed with the cutouts open and still only made 390, so the exhaust work is pretty much finished. I'm not sure I know what and EWP is either??

Well have you dynoed your car?? how much has it put down. You should be real close where you are now with the mods. Heck with a 224tr cam and my ported heads on a mustang dyno i was 366 with a auto trans 3600stall.

Asmodeus

EWP = electric water pump

An LS6 intake should put you over the top.

if you already have a ls6 intake, don't worry about the intake. Have you considered just dishing out $500 on a slightly bigger cam? I slightly bigger cam will easily put you over 400. And it won't be too expensive. Or you could save a little money and get some AFR heads, expensive, but well worth the money.

ditch the ORY and cats....its bound to get you a few more ponies !! If he has headers into a ORY he is still going 2 into 1 back into 2. With true duals you will be 2 all the way back

i do have hooker long tubes an electric cutout borla exaust 595 228 232 cam heads tweaked with chromoly push rods and comp beehive springs i do have an ls1 intake with the ERG removed, crank pulley. I eventually will get heads but i feel i should have or shall get 400 hp with what i got if i get close to 400 ima go with a 4.10 ro a 4.56 . the engine has 45,000 miles now so i can really start modding it wiht no worries and I got a fresh 6 speed in the car now

Dyno numbers dont win races, buy an intake, dont go true duals, its a waste of money and it isnt worth driving around sounding like a truck. My ory to 4 in cat back dynoed 1 less rwhp then my true dual set up, however I picked up 10 rwtq threw out the midrange which is alot better.
