alright so this weekend is the big weekend. im installing the prc stage 2.5 5.3L heads on my car. i also have the tourquer v.3 cam goin in as well (231\234-.643\.598-111lsa. whatg i want to know is what kind of crank horsepower i will be making after a good tune. i will list the supporting mods.

clear p&p tsp lid
k&n filter
hood debaffle
p&p-descreened maf
smooth bellows
p&p tb(knife edged)
bump stop mod.
tb bypass mod
ported ls6 intake.
pacesetter lts
catles y pipe
corsa catback-almost 0 restriction(very loud)

the car is a 01 ws6-a4 please leme know what the crank horse power and wheel horse power will be around. thanks in advance!!

p.s. texas speed claims the cam to add over 50 hp and the heads to add over 50 hp as well thanks.

 

No stall??

 

^lol that should be interesting...

 

yea i kno, my goal right now is to get it together with out any problems. and get it tuned. i will be getting a stall within the first couple weeks. would a 3200 stall be sufficient? the power band of the cam is from2300-6700 and i believe the low end torque willl help also. thanks and please help

 

If it is a matter of 2 weeks, IMO hold on till you get the stall because it needs tuned as well. With stall you'll need shift kit and most important a good tranny cooler.

TV3 has 10.5* overlap and will pull on the brakes hard (due to increased idle).
Stall I would reommend SS3600 Yank for the street.

 

Like said above get the stall at the same time. It would suck to drive with out one. I have that cam and with just the cam and an underdrive pulley I picked up 72rwhp

 

so if u added 72 with a cam and underdrive pully. im hopin to ad 125. is this a reasonable goal?

 

without a stall you will dyno high. but your car will not perform without a stall. when i did my cam i threw in a vig 3200 and 3.73 all at the same time. but remember stalls, will eat up some power on the dyno, but your car will be alot better with a stall. depending on the stall, your should be putting down atelast 420-430with that setup roughly.

 

your an auto, he is m6, so the logically the numbers would be a little low, but im going with the same cam, just the ls6 stage 1 heads.. ill let you know numbers here soon hopefully..

 

ok sounds good, i called today for an update and they said theyre a week late i think im gonna hold out and buy a stall and do all the work at the same time.

 

You can't expect to just add the advertised #'s up and that will be your gain. NEVER seen it work out that way. Since you are A4 I would say in the 80rwhp range is more realistic.

Also condition of shortblock, dyno calibration etc.... will all have an effect on the #'s. Track times are a better measure of power imo....

 

Great idea

 

yea i think im goin with either a yank or vig 3600. and a 373 gear. i just ran at the track this weekend for the first time in my life. ran a best of 13.05 at 108. with a 2.09 60 ft. what would be a respectable time after the mods and with a set of slicks. which i got to day for free. thanks!

 

heads will be here tomorro. im holding out tho on the install. im gonna get the ss3600 and a 373 gear to put in. on slicks im hoping to hit 11.90s

 

my 2000 z28 with yank ss3600 stock 273s lid ls6 intake.. full exhaust... and prostars went 12.37 at 109 mph.. and has a decent tune that i did =)

 

I've engine dyno tested that combo many times & those two components easily make over the 100 flywheel horsepower mark. If you'd like give us a call & I can find a copy of the last stock short-block we did. I have numbers from installing those two items.

We're also finishing up our engine dyno bay so we could even throw your long block on there & test the heads cam combo on the engine dyno.
