Have I hit 200hp yet?
I have the following mods:
1) Full 3" exhaust (TES TPI headers, Magnaflow cat and 4th gen catback)
2) Open element with 14x3 K&N
3) Edelbrock Performer TBI Intake
4) Hypercrap Stage 2 (came with car)
I have some other supporting mods, such as cooling items (Edelbrock Victor water pump, Hypertech fan switch, 180 t-stat) and a decent tune up (Bosch Platinum +4s, MSD 8.5 Super Conductors, Blue Streak cap)...
So did I hit an estimated 200 yet, or have I fallen short? I will say one thing...having just added the headers, I gotta say, it snaps my head for the first time ever!

I think the weanie cam is still holding you back in the HP race. I know I managed to put out 181 RWHP/268 RWTQ from a bone stock Cadillac L03 shortblock though. Just bolt-ons and DIY Prom Tuning.

I know L69s had a better cam, but I think my exhaust makes up for it...maybe?

It looks like what you have now is great but IMHO the two best things for that ride now is diy prom tuning and a set of 3.42 posi gears..........

Well hello!!! I assume I'll be seeing you in Indy shortly I didn't realize you were a member here...not quite the number of posts you have over at cz28, eh? Since you decided not to sell me your car, I decided to restore another one
Although, right now I'm mad at it...it failed emissions today
Time for some Guaranteed to Pass!!! It worked 2 years ago after the EGR had been crapped out for awhile
