Without starting a forum-wide World War III...

What are you guys with full bolt ons, stage 1s and a tune putting down?

What are you guys with full bolt ons, stage 2s and a tune putting down?


I just want numbers to get a general idea of what to do this summer to my car...



:SNSign:

285 hp sh.. 305 tq ish

thats stg 1s.

 

[03ghoststang]

ask hotmustang331 he'll tell you what he put down with all bolt on's with VT stg1

for the stg2's a bit more closer to the 300HP

 

[hotmustang331]

292RWHP/308RWTQ...VT stg 1 cams

^Agreed, the stg 2 guys usually put downa few more HP...but we think thats because the STG 2 guys ALYWAYS install valve springs and MOST degree the cams.
Both of which add HP....I did neither with my stg 1 cams and am still making great power

 

[stangman]

with stage 1's i put down 280/307 n/a.

with 8lbs of boost it went to 442/397

Lol...nice

 

[Unreal281]

Cool...


So how much of a difference does "degreeing" a camshaft make???

So if they are degreed, with proper valve springs and either a MPH...or Kauffman's tune...???


hmmm.....


:SNSign:

 

[steveb24]

obviously not enough to make it worth doing with a stg 1 cam. stg 2's = a whole other ballgame, where springs, a tune, and degreeing are needed.

Stage II, 303/318...

:SNSign:

most guys that make good power with the II's have headwork done. headwork really makes the II's shine, compared to the I's. if you don't plan on getting ported heads i would stick with 1's for ease of install & because you don't get dramatic power gains comparitively between the two.

 

[Unreal281]

Stage II, 303/318...

Thats NASTY...nice numbers...

Now, with headwork??? What else would i need??? I'm kinda new with this....


Do I just send my heads out to get ported/polished???

Should I up my fuel injector size to a 24 then???

What about my MAM...its still stock...

And the IMPORTANT question....how much power would i gain with all my bolt ons, stage 2s, valve springs...and ported heads???



:SNSign:

 

[scalder]

Thanks...that's stock/unported heads too...so you should be around the 310-315'ish mark if I'm not mistaken..maybe a little more.

Oh and your injectors should still be fine at that level...no need to switch yet. And really your stock MAM should support that as well..

 

[Unreal281]

How much does it typically cost to port/polish heads???

I'm not going to spend a load of money for just 5-10 extra horses...

If its just a few hundred...then I'm down

If you have a steady hand, and an eye for detail, it can be done with a Dremmel tool, and a few hours of concentration.

Hmm...what about the whole "polishing" part...?

What exactly does that mean anywayz?

 

[steveb24]

they ppolish everything on the inside i belive.. creates a smooter flow. As far as stg 2's go.. they make high high end power, so if u like that than go for it. im talkin 6400 plus. i love my stg 1's.. after alot of tuning and messing with timing.. i get em perfect with no bucking at low rpm.. and she pulls like a beast up top. cant wait till after my l/t's

 

[Unreal281]

Is there anyone on here....or does anyone know someone that has the stage 2 setup with ported/polished heads???

If so, what kind of numbers are they making???


thanx

When I was looking at P&P my stock heads I was quoted from $600 on up depending on what all you want done. Just an FYI.

6400 plus? I don't think so. I shift at 6100rpm with my VT Stage 2 n/a cams. Going anywhere past is useless with mine.
