Power Gains Question!!

Vbp6US · 02-29-2012, 02:25 AM

Very cool topic/thread. I was amazed to find out the mods do not compound in net hp gain. Please discuss further. @Tony (F.I.): Has anyone else experienced the same gains as you? 300whp with no other mods? That's amazing man. I only ask because for some reason, there are certain cars that respond very well to mods, more so than others with all else equal. So if that's not the case then, damn dude!

Full bolt-ons usually lay down around 320-330whp or so. Give/take from what I have seen here.

That means: TPS, Pullies, CBE, Gen III intakes, Tune, Motordyne Manafold.

Or you can put down 295-305 with drop-in filters and a CBE.

Your call, but thems the breaks!

Check out this thread for an example of mods NOT stacking.
Review: Motordyne E370

Exhaust can surely get you there. I did LTH, HFC and exhaust, and took me from a 271hp baseline to an untuned 300whp. Just don't get fixated on a number and get upset if it isn't quite there. Dyno's from one manufacturer to another vary widely.
