HSR Estimates
HSR Estimates
I am wondering what kind of power I will be looking at after I tune the L98 with the new Stealth Ram.
-355 (Stock EVERYTHING)
-Hedmen Shorty Headers
-MSD Cap, Rotor, 8mm wires, and coil
-Accel Shorty Header Plugs (More room for headers...)
-Holley Stealth Ram
-52mm TB
-30lb Injectors
I figured this is a better place to ask than my build thread... Thanks!!

Re: HSR Estimates
If you bolt a HSR on an otherwise stock TPI motor, the answer is it won't fall flat on it's face after 4500 like the TPI, but it will still make less and less power as you go above 5500 rpms. (even though it dynoed 63 more hp at 5200 than a stock TPI 350 motor)
That doesn't mean the Stealth can't flow up there.
It happens because the factory heads and cam are not capable of peaking up there. I don't know exactly what the highest rpm the factory heads and cam are capable of peaking at, but I guarantee you that it's below 6000.
Don't get me wrong here. The "rolloff" of power above 5000 rpm's will be much less dramatic with the Steatlh Ram than with the factory TPI on ANY motor. My point is that it's your whole combo that determines your power curve.
