Do longtubes before you do a cam.

2 answer your question, you won't see much gain w/ stock manifolds, maybe 10-15rwhp if that.

so you're saying going from a STOCK cam and springs..

to my milled 241 heads, ORY and TSP cat back... stock manifolds are going to hold back 60rwhp because i dont have long tubes??? somehow i dont think so..

considering people are seeing 375-400rwhp with this cam, granted they have long tubes.. but i dont think long tubes are going to net me 60rwhp with this cam... my current system puts me at 325rwhp.. and thats just my mods in my sig...

15 extra puts me at 340rwhp.. .. long tubes wont hold THAT much in.. everything else is free flowing.. Not cats, the TSP rumbler is the most free flowing cat back out there...

i would expect to see at least 355-360rwhp(with tuning).. and when i add long tubes..380-390rwhp(with tuning)..

anyone else agree or disagree?

mods build on each other, you ever wonder how a ms4 makes 80hp in a free flowing car? put that cam in a car with manifolds and it might make 15hp. put lt's on that same motor and itll free up so much ,that its not the lt's making the power, its the cam finally being able to breath enought to make the power. thats why lt's are supporting mods

Why don't you go ahead and do what your gonna do, get it on the dyno, then when you throw the long tubes on report back w/ another dyno and see the difference. I guess since the motor is out of the car you might as well throw the cam in there, otherwise it would be silly to do a cam before the longtubes.
