I was thinking SCT tune flowmaster exhuast and a green filter. what woudl that put me at for HP and RWHP that and 4.10 gearing what do u think the 0-60 tiem would be and what abotu the 1/4 mile?
370bhp is certainly possible but it will probably take every bolt on out there. Add a cam and it should exceed it quite well.matt15 said:I was thinking SCT tune flowmaster exhuast and a green filter. what woudl that put me at for HP and RWHP that and 4.10 gearing what do u think the 0-60 tiem would be and what abotu the 1/4 mile?

Ok, I cheated.
jlisle01 said:Not to be a smartass but, if you go the "every available bolt-on" route, have you not just about spent as much as a supercharger? I understand you can easily make 370HP with a stock car fed by a non-aftercooled Vortec. I'd rather go that route. JMO
I agree.CatmanJJ said:Not to rain on anybody's parade but sorry to say bolt-ons will not get you close to 370 rwhp unless you count a supercharger as a bolt on. Look at the 5.0 Cammer rated at 400 hp, you think that is simply a SOHC 4.6 3v with bolt ons? It's a highly pumped up 4 valve race engine with a tad bit more displacement. Now if the GTs came with a 5.4 V8 then you'd have decent shot of approaching 400 hp more easily N/A.
delurker said:Pretty much what Meat496 and stkdidy said. I want to see what I can do while staying NA and I want to see how long the bottom ends and transmissions last at SC levels of hp and boost.
I also don't want to add the drag and associated extra wear from an SC if I can get the kind of hp I want without it. I personally would feel safer with a built-up bottom end if I'm going to run really big hp, and that adds quite a few extra dollars to the SC price tag for me.
As stkdidy mentioned, most of the mods I'm adding will just contribute that much more hp when/if I go forged internals, SC, and maybe beefier transmission later.

delurker said:Nobody has said anything about 370 rwhp, it's been crank discussion from the start. What I said was, "Should be 70-75 hp over stock." That would be 370-375 crank hp with all bolt ons available.
I don't see it like that. I mean you could have a really heavy car with MASSIVE RWHP but still be slower than a lightweight car with far less RWHP.delurker said:I agree - the only hp and torque numbers that are really important are the ones measured where the rubber meets the road.
