Tuning and RWHP/RWTQ Guesses?
I have a lot of stuff going on to the car right now, and I am wondering if I should get a dyno tune. I have bama tunes already, so I am curious as to if a dyno tune from a good tuner would net me enough power to justify an extra $300-$400. Also, what do you guys think I can make with this setup? If everything goes perfectly, (it probably won't, but we'll see) I will have everything installed this week and be dynoed next week. My NA goal is 350 rwhp.
My setup will be:
Tune(either bama or dyno)
BBK Ceramic Long Tube Headers
BBK O/R Shorty X pipe
Steeda Underdrive Pulleys
Comp Cams NSR Stage 2 127200 Cams
4.10 gears
Roush CAI
Roush Axlebacks
Just trying to help pass the time until all the parts come in.

Aluminum DS and lighter wheels will free-up a few more RWHP as will an electric water pump. With the cams, LT's and O/R X, you MAY see some gains with an aftermarket TB but beware; they can be a real pain getting them to function properly. Very few people reach the 350 RWHP mark without some additional internal work.

I know of a couple places that I could get a gt500 TB and adapter for around $150. I want at least 340 RWHP but my goal for this car as a NA car is 350. Who knows, maybe my car is a freak and I'll be closer than I think with the mods I have now. lol.
