How much more power?
How much more power? Hey guys. I'm going to be completing my bolt-ons as money and time allow. I was just wondering how much more power I can make before the cam.
Current mods: Pacesetter Race LT's, TSP TD's, 160* Powerstat, FRA, K&N Filter, NGK TR-55's, SLP Lid, all this through a stock 10-bolt with 3.73 Precision Gears. Car has been dyno tuned by gomer.
I dynoed the #'s in sig with all this on there.
Forthcoming mods: Bo White Ported TB, LS6 intake, ASP Crank Pulley
How much will I put to the ground? I was thinking somewhere in the 350-ish range.
Anybody got any ideas?

ud pulley-some do gain, some dont( I gained 5rwhp w/ my old 99 a4 Z with usual bolt-ons, stock cam at the time.) but i bet once he gets a cam it would def gain hp.
Ported stock Tb on a bolt-on only car id think maybe 2-3rwhp
I do agree that the LS6 intake will be the biggest gain maker!! Future cam will luv it to

Oh, and I know I'll get some good power once I get the cam in. I think that I've finally decided. I'll more than likely (99% sure) be getting the TSP 225

The least amount I have seen from one of my TBs is 6rwhp and that was posted here not too long ago. www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=296958 I am sure there maybe some instances where you may not get as much gain at the ground but I have done alot of testing locally and 7.7rwhp is the usual gain(not average) and the most I have seen is 10-12rwhp on modded cars. If 2-3 hp is all a ported TB would produce I wouldnt be wasteing my time doin em. When I get yours to be done meet me at the dyno in Trussville for a back-to-back test, if you dont get at least 5 Ill give you your money back

I usually get 8hp with my tbs depending on setup......When I went to a ls6 intake headers and true duals i gained 53 hp at the wheels went from 340hp cam only to 393 with headers and intake.....
i know ported TBs do great on cam only(thats why i got 1), H/C setups, FI, etc...but i just didnt think w/ bolt-ons it'd gain that much but im no expert where as you are Mr. Bo White( im not sayin that in a condesendin way either, its a compliment like saying id believe you over myself)...wasnt tryin to say ported TBs are wastes of dough.

yea Keenov, seems to me ya should be makin more power despite that bein a 224 cam, its still capable of 380s w/ a good tune. but then again all cars dyno different. Its the ETs and MPH that count!!!!
Who tuned the car, Thunder Racing or someone local?

FWIW, gomer tuned my car. Great guy, very professional. The price was very right too.
Wicked_Hugger99: PLEASE lemme know if you ever decide to bring the 99SS up here to MMP. I'd love to see that thing run. I've been itching to see a turbo F-body ever since I learned about them. I'd love to get a ride in it if possible.

His pulls are roughly 20 minutes apart, the time it takes to swap a TB including hookin the coolant lines back up.
Ok cool deal. i just thought i might have upset ya w/ my ignorance. Glad we're cool

I wanna see urs to, dont remember meeting you before. I met JNorris(nice guy, helped me out), guy with a hugger Z, and some guy with a silver Z on spray that ripped his front fender off at the top end of the track on an 11.0@122mph pass(weirdest thing ive seen in a long time) Think he works at Seco in Montgomery but not sure.
