Can I run 12's with my current combo? And what would you guess my RWHP is? OK guys...here's what I've got.
94 LT1 A4 Trans Am Convertible 31,000 miles with:
GM OEM Ram Air Hood and Air Box with K&N Air Filter
Lingenfelter CNC Ported heads heads with 2.00” / 1.56” stainless steel one piece valves, double springs, titanium retainers, valve seals, ARP studs and guideplates.
Comp Cams Stainless Steel Roller Rocker Arms (1.5 ratio)
Lingenfelter Ported & Polished LT1 Intake
Lingenfelter Hydraulic Roller cam and lifters (stock number 74211) http://www.lingenfelter.com/lingenfe...24&pf%5Fid=489
SLP Shorty Headers, 1 3/4"
Accel 300+ Ignition
Throttle Body AirFoil
160 deg t-stat
March Under sized crank and oversize Alternator pulleys
GM Factory aluminum drive shaft and GM 3.42 gears
Borla cat-back exhaust with factory cat
Stock bottom end
The car currently has the stock programming in it, but I have Tunercat and will be making some adjustments when I take the car to the dyno.
Can this combo run 12's with some slicks/drag radials and a good 60' ? If not, what would be the next mod/mods to make to get me to the 12's WITHOUT nitrous?
What would be your best guess as to my RWHP with the current stock programming? and how much HP do I stand to gain with a good tune?
Thanks,
-Shawn

Re: Can I run 12's with my current combo? And what would you guess my RWHP is? found out where you make peak TQ,
put a stall 200-300rpms before, this will help
you more than anything.

Re: Can I run 12's with my current combo? And what would you guess my RWHP is? If you still have the stock converter in the car than your going to be stuck in the high 12's even with your gearing.
Lingenfelter is pretty consistently conservative on his packages but they are very reliable so as far as hp/tq I'm guessing in the low to mid 300's.
Don't forget you are in a heavy car. Need to get it on a dyno so you can see that torque curve and choose the converter appropriately.
