Expected ET for motor swap
Alright, April 18th I'm gonna be putting in my new GM performance 350, TCI transmission, B&M Holeshot 3000 T/C and full exhaust.
The motor is a GM high performance 300HP /370 ft. lbs 350. I'm gonna be using fulling ported TPI intake on the motor because it peaks at 5000 rpm. I'm expecting a minor HP gain and a huge gain in torque. so maybe 310HP/390ft.lbs to stay conservative. Also have SLP 1 3/4" headers, Hooker Catback with aerochamber muffler and dual exits. Maybe another 10 HP gain out of that. I'm running A/C delete, but all emissions equipment (ordinance mandated) coupled with a 3000 stall and stock 3.27 rear and some Nitto drag radials I'd like to know what this setup can get me. I might get an AFPR and set it to 50 psi if necessary, although probably isn't. I'd like to know what E/T I could get. I'm a good driver, pulled off a few 14.6-14.8 second runs with my car bone stock, so I'm sure this new motor won't be that hard. I predicted a mid 13 second run with this motor, transmission, and stall with everything tuned properly, do you guys think this is accurate? What are other 300-320 HP 3rd gens around here running?
