+1 on the crossover

I don't think you'll have much less than 300 (if any) after a tune. The Trick Flow kits were tested on a 306 with 9.5:1 comp, a 70mm TB, larger mass air and fuel pump. Bump your timing a bit and that'll also give you an edge. Do you have an auto or a manual? You lose less through the drivetrain with a stick, so your rwhp numbers will be closer to your bhp numbers

Yup its a stick. Also just ordered the BBK Offroad H pipe, an electric fan and some flowmasters 1 series as you guys suggested. What track times do you put me with a good launch? Thanks for all the info its been a great help.

Not arguing, but in the last issurwe ofMM & FF, they did a auto to manual swap full out test on both, with one car and the auto produced 12 more horse power on the dyno than the manual, but the manual was faster. Just thought it was interesting. They used a TKO and a C4 I believe.

With a good launch (like a 1.9 to a 2.0 60') I will put you in mid to low 13's if you can drive well.

this is cause the A9P in the auto has a slighter richer fuel curve..so with a chip that can be all corrected
the so called crossover pipe lets the engine so to speak thinks the exhaust is larger

hey mabe you need to hook up with Joel5.0 I think he's in PR

He should be seeing 12s easy with good tires and a launch. $hit, Bolt-on notches can hit mid to low 13s.

You'll be close. I hit 273 with stock timing and all accesories, including the fan. With an electric fan and bumped timing you could hit it.

Ok well in any case my goal is to run in the 12s. Suspension wise i already got Subframe connectors, Upper and lower controls, traction lok, and strut tower brace. If i were to get MT et Street drag radials, 70/30s up front, moroso front drag springs and 50/50s in the back would i run the 12s?
