My ideal set up
3:73 gears
3000 stall
Stock crank
Forged pistons (still deciding)
Cam (still deciding)
Ported heads
Ported intake manifold
Ported TB
SLP air intake
Long tube headers into a y pipe with magnaflow exaust.

Am I forgetting any of the basics? Im going for 400HP TO THE TIRES.. I will be spraying as well.. 125-150 shot

MAROBOY_TRAV

Tires and suspension is a must as well..

With a good h/c combo from LE or AI 400 to the wheels can happen pretty easy

nvrending97ws6

well he is going to need one hell of a cam to hit 400whp just saying in my build im shooting for high 300s off the juice and i have a pretty beasty setup

i would say with a LE2 package or equivalent from AI, 400rwhp should be with in grasp.

Sounds like someone bought the wrong parts Do some research and you will see that you don't need a massive cam to get 400

With a le2 head and a matched cam and a great Tune 400 easy but all of that power is usless without suspention.

Yea 400 is a real possibility with heads and cam and all the boltons. Plenty of guys doing it on stock bottom ends.

Go to ai and i don't see any reason not to hit 400rwhp with a head cam package from them. Of course u need all the bolt ons also and I wouldn't skimp too much on valve train either

No, you don't.

Even with the "847" people go over 400 rwhp.

CC306 has gone over 400 as well............

MAROBOY_TRAV

Hahahaha 300??? Maybe building a LT isnt your thing bro..

MAROBOY_TRAV

@ lawhead
I've heard good things bout that cam.. Even on the threads on here.. Any other cam options.. Because once I have the specs from the cam I can go and get everything else matched up..

Nope. Get the rest of the package right, and it's a given.
228 deg here on intake duration; 425 SAE to the wheels.

m6 cars hit 400whp fairly easy but not stalled a4's. A nice ai h/c package should get you close, if not there.

MAROBOY_TRAV

And I was including the 125-150 shot into my build.. So as a total of 400rwhp on the bottle.. Off the bottle Ill take about 350 to the motor.. I still drive the car so I don't want it outrageously raced out

It can never be raced out or your to old. Im making 423 with le2 and 306 in my wires car. People who have no idea what there talking about should troll somewhere else.

A 125-150 shot will give you 400 to the tires on a well-tuned stock engine. I was doing 425 STD on the 150 shot with my stock engine. I'm talking locked converter on all of the hp numbers.
350 on motor can be done with a cam only. With good ported heads, 350 on motor can be done with an extremely mild cam. Look at AI's website and you'll get an idea of cam sizes you should consider. They're very realistic with their estimated hp numbers.
