So i am trying to figure out what gains i will recieve (roughly) with what I'm about to do to my car. Currently a stock 3V V8.

-Steeda CAI
-Hurst Short Shifter
-FRPP delete plates
-4.10 gears
-Pypes o/r H-pipe
-91 oct Ba Ma Chips tune

I am undecided if I am going to go through with the H-pipe. Looking at Kooks LT headers w/ x-pipe as alternative......I love the sound of the H-pipes, butI think i might want headers later down the road. How muchHP difference would there be between the two?

If you have any suggestions....i'm all ears... Planning on doing this through the next couple of months so I need to make a set decision.

THANKS!!

Assuming you get a dyno tune, and depending on what kind of dyno you get one.

Your in the 250-265 range right now (again depending on the type of dyno)
I think with the CAI you could get 15-20 rwhp=265-285 rwhp
None for the shifter, none for the plates,none for the 4.10 2-4 rwhp for the o/r H pipe so now your at 269rwhp-289rwhp
oops I see your going with the bama chips tune. So I think 265rwhp-285 rwhp. These are honest numbers IMO, some people will tell you higher

I will say higher

base around 265-270

Individually:
CAI and tune 23-25
CMDP 10
exhaust 5-8

Mods dont add though so you wont get that increase with each

I would say you are going to be right at 295-300

Can you afford pullies and a water pump?

Every little bit helps.

Yeah, pulleys and water pump are going to come next.

How much of a gain will i get out of the LT headers?

i know this is off topic, but can someone tell me what "delete plates" are and what they do?

howarmat

do a search on CMCV or CMDP....tons of threads

yes they add hp. simply... in the stock plates there are plates that open and close. in the delete plates--the plates are deleted opening up air flow. more air+ more hp. as far as the pipes go. if you want more hp long tubes and x-pipe are the way to go. I would not put money into just a mid pipe. when getting pipes you NEED to have the front and mids match or you can get into a big pain in the a$$ trying to match them up. different companies use different connectors. there is not much difference between x and h as far as hp. maybe 5hp.

If you stay N/A I would not go with LT's. Why u ask...the shorties you have from the factory are very well designed and breathe very well. Now this is not in stone but as stated earlier for every mod you add and the HP it claims to give- you cant just add the numbers and that is your new HP. If you were going with better cams or changing something internally in the motor then I would recommend the LT's for even less restricted output. I think there is a article somewhere on this same thing (might not be same products though) and I will post if I can find.

Found the article and I hope it helps in saving money and using towards something else! Later J...http://www.alternativeauto.com/water...texhaustupdate
