what all did you change, it hard to see you picking up 72rwhp from afr205's
Do some good tuning on it , surely u well be suprised especially u got 225cc.

wana a significant results?? do your tune on a dyno .

is that a *full* list of mods or partial? nothing else was done to achieve that time? no springs for the cam, no nothing
To be honest that wasn`t all i add , i throwed some high gears , and sure i added some spings ...etc ..

I did a very hard job with many professional tuners for this acheivement

Same mods, same name, same car. Kinda weird huh.
Yeah I can't wait I will be a little dissappointed if I don't get 400rwhp. I will let you know though.

Jet Hot longtubes w/no cats
Y-PIPE
Corsa
K&N air filter
160 Stat
Ported TB
Cutout
all small free mods.

Also would it be worth the wait to save an extra $1500 and get the patriot heads at the same time?
My guess right now, with your current mods, you'd be under 350hp. I think you are asking a lot for any cam to add 50+ hp IMO. Therefore, yes, if 400+hp is what you are looking for, wait and do the heads at the same time, you'll be happy with the numbers.

spring and rods were also done.918's
my ss only has 10,000 miles on it it has done alot of sitting it is an m6
even plugs were changed i heard the guy you did the tuning is one of the best so
i just cant believe whar the problem is. dont get me wrong the car pulls hard throuout the
rpm range. i'm really looking to run low 12's at track with drag radials.
i'm going to change exaust and run it on dyno again has ive yet to see anyone use edelbrock exaust

Really, I'm pretty sure 50 hp out of some cams isn't a problem. My .02

The 4.10s really woke the cam up, no more waiting for the power band, it is RIGHT there. 1st gear is pretty much useless on my my Kuhmos though...

I gained 62 RWHP with the TSP 231/237 and an ASP crank pulley.

thanks for all the replys guys, seems alot of people in this forum really like the tsp 231/237....How many of you have this in your daily driver? If so, how is it...A local shop advised me not to go over a 228/228. What do you think?

If my 98 didn't have 100,000 miles on it I would have went with a little bigger cam. I would have went with a F13 or something if I had less miles. So I'm happy with what I got.

You have new track times with the cam in? I was trying to estimate what about a 420rwhp car could do in the quarter. Does high 11.7s to 11.8x sound about right, assuming sticky tires and a decent decent driver (M6 4.10's)?

11.7s to 11.8s can be had with sticky tires and a decent driver easily. You could see lower than that with a 12 Bolt and a really hard launch. The tracks around here don't open till this Saturday. I'm unfortunatly leaving for spring break on Friday but I will get some track times next weekend.
