How much power can you guys figure I might make with this setup? My car dyno'd 214 Bone stock. Any rough figure would be nice guys. Thanks

BTW the car has hedman shorties with matching y and 3" exhaust high flow cat as well.

I'd say about 275rwhp with stock tpi, 350rwhp with a stealthram.

I had a similar set up with AFR 195s, LPE 219 cam, Super Ram, and 10:1 355 that ran 13 flat at 106 on street tires. With slicks, I think I could have gotten 12.70s.

Don't have any dyno numbers for you though.

You have an excellent combination starting there. Good luck. Might try doing a SEARCH on the Alternative Port EFI board as there are a lot of guys on there who may have a set up like yours that could offer some insight.

what about buying an accel base with say tpis(as&m) runners, and porting the plenuem, and the base, and the runners. gasket match them all.

get that tpi flowing like those heads. i am assuming around 260cfm, then i bet she would make over 300rwhp.

I think more than 275 . My setup netted 251/318 to the wheels , untunned. Thats on a dynojet. Even with the little mild ZZ4 cam .

Yes, I also feel that 275 is a bit low. I failed to mention I have SLP runners. Not much of a difference there. But I might look into the accel base and what not. That is easy to change. Mainly I want to get the car running. I plan on doing some Top end work after some baselines. I was hoping at least 300rwhp. The headers alone gave me 20 to the wheels. up from 214 to 235. I know heads and cam will push her over 275, plus the balances parts in the shortblock should free up a couple of ponies. Thanks guys

that seems like a great TPI combo...cept for the stock TPI stuff... lol

but yeah, i'm thinkin high 270's rwhp. modded TPI will look at near 300-310rwhp probly... superram is upwards of 330ish-340ish. i would think
