My best friend lives in an apartment with multi-level garage reserved space parking. When I visit, there is always a brand new GTO parked in the lower level where i park. What pisses me off is the sticker on the side of his hood scoop that says "400 HP"!!!!! I can't stand it. I want 400 HP.

What can I do to get 400HP withouta supercharger? Anything? I know that a breenspeed tune and intake will get me to about 340 but what else can Ido?
Could always say what you guys tell the V6'ers..

Sell your GT and buy a Shelby GT500 [8D]

Do you suffer from "***** envy" as well? There's a few young guys where I live that have 6.0L Goats, and yes, they're fast, but a straight line isn't the whole picture. I've out-driven guys in C6 'Vettes on connector ramps and curvy roads. Is my car a better handling car? Of course not, but bravado(and a little skill)goes a lot further when driving on the road. Learn how to master your car, then if you're still embarassed by only 300hp, get a N20 sysytem and use it when the need arises. Then again, the need to use itshould be on the track................

He has a sticker that says "400 HP" and you feel emasculated... by a sticker? I don't know which one of you to slap first. He needs that sticker to tell people he isn't driving a Grand Am. Pity him. And get yourself a sticker that makes you feel good while you're at it.

that should get you close to 400hp

maybe at the crank. definetely not at the wheels, probably around 270-280 rwhp
I think your a little low on HP with CAI and good Tune. I bet closer to 290 then 270. Most S197 dyno close to 265 so 5-15 HP increase with with CAI and Tune seems too low

I havent had a gto touch my car yet. I was intimidated as well by the 400 hp numbers and thought they would blow my dooors off. I had a friend buy one because he though it would be faster and when we took them both to the track. I had street tires, cai, pulleys and gears and ran a 13.30 and his best was a 13.94. He was still stock, but had drag radials. I had ran 13.90 on street tires and no mods the week before.

270-280 seems about right. Id say 280 is on the high side for just a cai and tune...
