Default Looking for more HP!!!!

I have put down 414RWHP 387 RWTQ, but thats not enough. I am debating on using N20, but I wouldn't mind an GWP stage 2 ATI either. My 99 SS has an ARE stage 2 H/C, LS6 intake, SVO 30lb injectors, ARE ported oil pump, SLP 85mm MAF, ported T/B, Grott headers, no cats, SLP LM exhaust, NGK-TR55 plugs, whisper lid, SLP cold air kit, RAM clutch, and custom 12 bolt with 4.10s, and ED Wright tuning. I was thinking of a boost/N2O shortblock over winter for use with the nitrous. Can I use the GWP ATI stage 2 kit without a built bottom-end and be ok? My goal is 500-600 RWHP and be capable of 10s in the 130mph range. I don't race often, maybe go to the track 12 times a season at the most. This year I went twice.

To get those power levels youll probably have to dip into the bottom end.
you could do a low compression build with forged internals. throw in some air at 12 psi

or you could do a higher compression build with forged internals and top that with some juice.

Ask the source!

Call GWP at 303-346-5232 and see what Jason says you need to attain your goals.

I personally don't see the motor handling 600+ RWHP on stock internals. But, GWP has put together kits for some guys on the board making 500+ RWHP. I have stock internals and an A4 making 486 RWHP and 487 RWTQ! That was good for 10.98 at 125.83 MPH! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
