lol, tell us a story.


Alright, Im not interested in you sounding right, so no sweat. Just know that hp and bhp mean the same thing. HP and rwhp are not interchangible. This is true in all magazines, books, and among racing community. Ive raced in the US and Europe, I know. Other than that, yea, wheel hp is what matters.
no what im trying to say is, say your at a meet and somebody asks how much horsepower do you have? You say i have 447 to the wheels. You dont say, uhhh hold on let me calculate my drivetrain loss, ill get back to you on that

330 crank hp with those mods is HIGHLY doubtful. Probably closer to 290-295 with those mods, maybe 300 with an agressive tune.

Suspension mods should be next, like the others said.

sounds like you need some traction now. I'd go with some upper and lower control arms. I saw a package on ebay for like 150$. Then with the cash left over, Id go with something like 10" wide in the rear with some Dr's. Rims are cheap off ebay but the tires will be the pricy part. Ive seen Dr's go for rediculously cheap on ebay.

70 Horses? Nahhhh, no way. The 330 hp is just the same old song and dance mark up that all brands use when marketing their product. Just like most CAI's are supposed to add what, like 10-15 hp or more?

Definitely grab you some suspension though. Upper and lower CA's, and sub frame connectors. Do you have springs yet? Are you on your stock shocks and struts?
