I am a big fan of NA, great work!

here is a link to a 370hp early VQ, with stock bottom end some air flow components and great tuning

WOW! You are telling with a kick *** tune i can have 370 HP? The only thing i am missing out of that list is the CNC heads and Cosworth Cams + the kick a$$ tune. Where can i get this done?!?!?!

 

That 370whp isn't to the wheels...just so you know.

Yeah i know. But figure in a good 15%-20% drivetrain power loss and you still into the 300's or 6-7 HP short! Not too bad. I know auto will hit the 300 WHP if not BARELY hit it and MT will definitely be on it or above 300 WHP

 

It is very difficult to hit 300 rwhp with a stock bottom end.

Trust me... I am a little over 13 horsepower away from the magic 300 number and I'm getting set to build a complete motor...

 

let me know if you need any help with that still jb...


thanks

Well, I'm just saying that I have everything modified in my intake/exhaust except for the headers...pullies are done too. I'd like to hit the 300 rwhp mark without having to do headers. I may look into some better cats or test pipes tho. My mod list shows what I have done so far. P Its way more than just headers, I know that lol

 

nah man stickers really help!!

 

Like he said you are not going to hit 300whp without having to pull the whole motor and put some work into it. You will also need headers. What is the big deal about headers?

JB, what all do you have done to your car? Only 13 away from 300? Awesome, have you taken it to the drag strip yet?

It's got a couple of bolt-ons... Here's a link to my Car Domain page:

Yea, it seems so close, but it's actually so far away. It's possible that I could get 300 by adding cams, but my goal isn't just to break 300whp on a dyno. Plus, you have to just about take the motor out of one of these cars to put cams in... might as well swap motors. I want a nice running engine that will be built to stay together and run well.

I've been talking to Jeremy about building a nice NA motor for quite a while. I have a spare revup motor now, so it's time to do it. Jeremy's got some good ideas, so we're going to go for it. I'll be able to drive my car while Jeremy works on my new motor, then we'll just swap them out.

Nah... I wanted to get a set of Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radials, but they stopped making them for a while.

 

Awesome man! Well good luck with the build and start a thread to keep us all updated on what happens.

Also, what kind of tune have you done to your car with that osiris? What have you changed?

-Sean

 

Yeah jb, please keep us updated with the build.
