how much horsepower is my car making
Hi every one this is my first post. I just got a 98 trans am convertible with automaric. The previous owner insltalled an slp exhast (loud mouth) and the car has a ram air hood. The car sounds great and is pretty fast. I have a 79 trans am 4-speed and the 98 is light years ahead in speed.
How much horesepower is my car making with the hood and exhast. Also should i get a cold air intake for the car or since i have the ram air hood i dont need one?

auto stock are usually in the 280-290 rwhp stock. with the lm maybe 290ish hard to say. every car is differenct. the hood won't add power. maybe 1or 2hp at highway speeds.
a few good first mods wold be a lid, and maybe a tourque converter.

it all depends. my stock car on a conservative dyno read 287, but with another dyno and a lid and cutout i made 321. im going back to the first dyno to see how the a/f is on nitrous, but we'll make one n/a pull for reference
