PP ls1 stage 2's & comp 224 =) ?
 

hey experts, what do you think.

Going through stock 10 bolt, m-6. I'll be adding headers of coarse, and have FIPK and exhaust already. I'm thinking of getting the H/c pckg from ls1 speed with stage 2 patriot ls1 heads, and comp cam 224/224 .563/.563 114lsa. My understanding is that this package includes springs and pushrods. Tuning would be done locally with ls1 edit, for a (almost) daily driver. Anybody know what kind of power i'd expect, any tips, should i be looking at a different combo for the money and my goals? I'm looking for 400whp and 117mph traps. (et's will be based on if i can afford a new rear ;))

thanks, all comments welcome :hail:

Well, I believe the rwhp should be as quoted, I'm not sure on the mph though. I'm getting my car back tomorrow with almost the similar mods. I'm hoping for the same #'s as u are.

What year is the car? I don't think 400rwhp out of that combo on a 01 or 02 would be a problem with headers and a cutout. My car with a TR220 and stage II 5.3 heads and all bolt ons did 416rwhp 392rwtq and trapped 118 mph with my shitty driving.

i have a similar combo and pulled less than 400 hp but i trapped 118 missing a few boltons i have now

hoping for 120 on stock gears next time at the track

thanks for the replies.

Yup it's a 2002, about 20k miles on the motor. what other bolt-ons should i be looking at? i Here that pulley, throttle boddy, and MAF don't really do anything?

I gained 12rwhp on my old combo with the addition of a pulley and ported TB. I belive the pulley was most of it.

IMO, two of the most important "little" mods that people overlook are a pulley and a cutout. On a H/C combo, the cutout is worth its weight in gold.

well im gonna head to the dyno in the next week or so, i have the comp XER 224 224 581 581 112 +2 i dynoed 396rwhp with that cam, Jet Hot LT's ORP, Corsa catback(no cutout),MTI Lid, Descreened maf, and no real tuning i dynoed 394 totally untuned added a couple degrees of timing went to 396rwhp 389rwtq that was with stock gears,clutch, rearend, stock pulley and stock T-body, since ive added stage 2 TEA 5.3's cut .015 and a ASP underdrive pulley, to take away some on the dyno ive also added a loaded moser 12 bolt with 3.90 gears and a spec 3 clutch....im hoping to put down 425rwhp maybe with a Ported T-body and a cutout i could see 435 or so.....car feels great just got the heads and pulley done saturday, so ill give it another week and go to the dyno.....anybody else got any guesses on what my numbers will be...

Do you guys think patriot 5.3's would be a better choice? what are the downsides of the 5.3's compared to the 5.7's?

There really isn't a "downside" to the 5.3's. You get a little more compression from the 5.3's over the 5.7's. The flow exactly the same. If it was my car.. I'd do the 5.3's :drive:

FWIW

I think PP 5.3's are a better choice than PP 5.7's but I would get 5.3's TEA Stage 1.5's instead of PP.

:)

TEA does good work cant go wrong with either......whats the matter nobody wants to play guess my numbers as i said above?

My guess is no one wants to side track the thread since it's about Elcheapo pending set up. Would be a great topic for a new thread. I'll take a guess in it.
