Default B1 cam ??

How much rwhp can I pick up by installing a B1 cam and using mti tuning. Is there a better way to reach this hp gain for $2000. If so PLEASE let me know. Car is 00 vert a4 vette w/ mti ram air and corsa exhaust. Please help. Thanks Eric

I'd say with headers and ls6 intake you'll get around 360-370rwhp. It should have no problems passing emissions with tuning.

There's no way headers and an intake will get him 360-370rwhp. MAYBE 350rwhp on an M6, but less on an A4.

That said, headers and the B1 cam will be the best way to go. If you can find the stuff used you can probably squeeze it in under the budget. If you cant, like eric said, maybe headers and an intake manifold will be the best.

jmX, I meant headers+intake+b1 cam. But I guess you'd definately have to wait for some good deals/used parts to get that under $1800.

B1 cam 250, ls6 intake 395, springs and rods 225, tpis headers 895 = $1765 shoot me a private email for someone who can install for a good price. Tuning won't really be needed for the b1 till later.
With and auto you should be at 355 rwhp at this set up.
But you might think about getting a stall first. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
