Default Whatcha Think ????

I have a 90 vert and I am about to take it to a tune shop for my dyno results in a week . I was just curious what you guys think I can be putting out on horsepower with my setup ?

Here it is ..

Trickflow Stage 1 cam
Trickflow track heat intake
Granatelli 65mm Tb
moroso cold air intake
Granatelli 75mm mass air
24lb injectors
Frp 1.6 aluminum RR
ported Gt-40 heads
Fuel pressure regulaor set for 35 Psi
255lph fuel pump
BBk shorty headers
2 1/2 exhaust into a bassani X pipe into dual borla catbacks

on a stock block..

Any info would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Put some money into you suspension and it could very easily do that. Subframe connectors, rear control arms, some strange ten ways, welded torque boxes, and a new K-member will go a LONG way.

Why 35 PSI on the fuel pressure? Stock is like 38? You'd want a little higher pressure for more power, not lower?

What fuel pressure should i set it at ? I was told that 35 was perfect for this car ! Should it be a little higher than 38psi ?

39psi here... +2 on suspension mods for track times, upper/lower control arms, springs/shocks, weld up the factory torque plates and get some wolfe products torque box plates, full length subframes, you'll get your 13 sec... GL

I say 240 since no upgraded cam is in your mod list.
