Approximate HP???
 
Right now my 08 GT has a K&N CAI and a Flowmaster axel-back with a Bama 93 race tune on it. Any guess on my rwhp? I'm guessing somewhere around 300. Next week my cams should be goin in, Comp Mutha Thumprs. Maybe 330ish? Anyone have a good idea?

Stock w/manual -> 260 +/-
Stock w/auto -> 245 +/-
CAI w/93 tune -> 20 +/-
Axle Back -> Maybe a few

With their SCT tune , CAI , UDP's and axle back exhaust Steeda dyno'd mine at 295 RWHP and 313 RWTQ ...

Cool thanks for the input. Any idea what the cams might add?

I don't know for sure , but I would guess around 20 - 30 HP for the cams depending on the tune you get for it. Before I got my S/C I talked to BBR about getting cams and heads and they said with my setup , which also included the Steeda CMDP's at the time , I would get around 380 - 390 RWHP ...

385 -(295 + 10*) = 80
*estim. rwhp from CMDP's

80 rwhp from only cams & heads is not going to happen.
Maybe 40 at most, or 60 if the engine is stroked.

Do you know that some people can't see signatures?

Talk to Chris at BBR , he's the one that gave me the numbers and I assume he wouldn't have given me numbers that he couldn't actually get ...

No need to. I've read what other owners have dynoed with cams/heads.

Don't forget about that awesome cold air intake that makes your car fly!

Don't listen to ski... he knows everything and cannot be proven otherwise :rolleyes:

05YellowGT Jan 24, 2012 05:29 AM

Yep , I've seen a few of his other posts and I should have known better ...

JJJTMC Jan 24, 2012 08:15 AM

Dyno with my mods. Doesn't seem unrealistic if I added heads.

The proof is in the facts. I only state them.

Unfortunately, some forum members require proof of the power increase from a mod(or mods), instead of only a verbal power increase estimate.

I for 1 have seen heads make over 100hp difference. So your claim of "maybe 40" is false. But you know more than me and the proof I have seen was made up....lol
