full bolt ons and you'll be close. Get suspension and some tires and it'll carry you to mid 12s without a problem.

All bolt-ons will get you just over the 310rwhp mark. You will need a cam like a hot-cam or cc305 to hit 330rwhp.

Putting on pacesetter mids will make it even harder. If you insist on mids get some 1.75 primaries like AS&M, RK sport or SLP.

Probly because he needs the carb number to pass emmisions in Cali. Thats the only reason I can think of why he would go that route.

all bolt-ons with all the little tricks will get you well into the 320 range, breaking into the 330 range might be a little tricky. There are very few of us ( LT1's ) that have broken the 320 barrier and a handful that have broken the 330 barrier as a full bolt-on car. I'm currently sitting on 325 rwhp / 350 rwtq and hope to be able to get the last little few ponies to break the 330 rwhp mark. I don't think my torque will rise much if any, but I'm quite sure I've got what I need to break into the 330 range Full bolt-ons, never been inside the motor.

I think you can make the numbers you want, but be prepared to spend a bunch of money and time trying to figure out how to make a LT1 with bolt-ons break the 330 mark. Good luck

Dont get stuck on guaranteeing yourself numbers, they vary from engine to engine. There are so many variables to consider and the Pacesetter mid length headers are gonna seriously hurt the potential of the LE2 setup. If you get every single bolt on including RR's, EWP you should make 300-310 RWHP.

I am 320/325 on the ground, and I am A4. I have the Hotcam, that is the only internal, the rest is boltons. You should be able to get those numbers, expecially if you are M6.

If your trying to do this with all boltons, wich I doubt you can hit 350hp get some 1.6 rockers they will help.


I would get a hot cam`

350 would be pushing it, the mid Headers will cut it down. LT's are a hell of alot better

well coming from the stock manifolds... the mids will get me more power than what the stock ones are restricting.

no need for LTs here anyways as i wont be able to pass smog or anything.
