Re: What you putting down with your 5.0TBI

If I recall correctly my best time before the heads and cam was 15.5 maybe 15.3 @ 85-88mph. Thats with a tune, Hooker 2055s, empty cat, 3" exhaust and 3.73 gears (before I blew up that rear end) and it dyno'd 160rwhp/250ft/lbs.

You buy it, install it, READ ALOT of how-tos, make changes, verify the changes do what you want, repeat.
There are tons of write-ups. I am not computer savy at all... And I did it. And my tune is not perfect, I am always learning how to make it better.

Too bad the photo function is busted on this thread. A thread dedicated to the 5.0s and I know there are some really nice cars here.

Well my rebuilt 5.0 was just finished not long ago ... .030 over , speed pro flat tops , 10.6:1 compression , balanced , trick flow super 23 175cc heads , summit dual plane intake ,custom CAI, summit shorty headers, full 3" system , 620CFM TBI & EBL , with WBo2 and 68# injectors @ 27 psi ... We r thinking somewhere from 340-370fwhp after I get the tuned dialed in ... Has lots of suspension mods 4:10 posi with T-5 trans and about 250-250lbs lighter than a stock base model firebird and 200 of those lbs are from firewall forward

Edit : cam is a Howard's hydraulic roller 214/218@ .050 .488/.495 lift on 114 LSA plus 1.6 RR comes out to .520/.528 lift I think What you putting down with your 5.0TBI-image-1145313223.jpg

Re: What you putting down with your 5.0TBI

350 tbi with lots of mods. I'll dig up the dyno sheet but I remember it was about 298whp and just over 300wtq. It should be making more but we were having lots of trouble. Need a EBL badly.
