just installed Pacesetter Long Tubes and TSP ORY and TSP Torquer V.3 231/234 .643/.598 at 111 LSA Non-tuned on a 2002 trans am 6-speed...dyno tune next week and hoping to pull 400RWHP if i dont what could i do to git me over the 400 mark....dont really want to spend $2000.00 on heads so is there anything else i can do thats cheaper....thanks

 

Cheap heads. Get some stock ls6 heads. You may make good rwhp, but I bet the rwtq is under 360. The TSP cams don't seem to make good torque.

 

I pulled 401hp on the torquer 1 with an A-4 unlocked. You should have over 400 if you have all the boltons.

Good Luck.

should have no problem making 400 tuned well.

my torquer v1 made good power...with more demons than a season of "Charmed"

small power boosters would be a ported TB, electric wp, underdrive pulley.

but if you're gonna go through the expense of a head swap (head bolts, gaskets = $200+) you may as well cough up for some ported pieces. at least get some milled stockers to boost compression...

 

get the stage 2.5 5.3 liter heads, ppl are making pretty good numbers with them and they will help out torque numbers... they are fairly cheap as well like 1100 assembled

 

check out patriot for a set of 243s milled to your specs for around $400 .
or youcan get a set of there fully assembled , stage 2 cnc ported heads for around $1k .
full bolt ons , smaller head gasket , underdrive pulley , suspension , weight reduction (free) .
take your pick
