A guy I know at a local performance shop in Kenner, LA that had an 01 GT that put down 295hp at the real wheels with just full bolt ons and a tune. He didnt even have headers installed, only Bassani X-pipe and Mangaflow magnpacks. I say he "had" a 01 GT cause he put a Vortech supercharger at 10psi on it and installed his headers, and his third race he blew it lol.

Full bolt-ons including long tube headers, cams and one HELL of a tune. I'd be surprised if anyone sees 300rwhp without touching the heads..

That tune must've done him WONDERS, because I just don't see it happening without headers AND a cam.

RE: 300 HP?
I'd be happy with 300 crank HP!
Think about it and add the numbers. 260 to start with. I added a BBK CAI that has to go as it probably lost power but let's say I have a JLT: 10HP. I added a PYPES catted X-pipe and catback which together are good for 10HP. No headers for me. Predator tune, I'll be generous and say 12HP. Got a set of 4.10's but they didn't add any power. Then I got wheels and 315/35 rear tires. Again no HP but they will help the gears to hook so may get me a flat 2 sec 60'. Before we lose track i have added 32HP if I had the JLT intake. UDP's add 5HP and a plenum and TB are good for 7HP. That brings the total to 44HP. That's also the end of bolt ons for me unless there are suggestions. I first wanted to get it so the car ran a 13.5 but it's an automatic and a Convertible so it's the slowest 2v 4.6 platform to start with for '99-'04 4.6's. Mark
