Will I get 40hp from this?

Just a quick question for everybody, I'm porting my heads,plenum and intake. and adding SLP runners(mildly ported) and an AFPR. is it possible that I'll be picking up that much hp? I was told I would, but I don't see how thats possible, thanks for the time

Honestly, horsepower is hard to come by. I highly doubt all those things will put you up at 400 horsepower, if it did, then all of us would have pavement pounding F-bodies. Maybe aftermarket heads and a real sick cam you would be in the 300 range. Thats just my opinion with all the money i spent on the same bolt-ons.

Possibly, but opening up the plenum and a 52mm throttlebody
with some 1.6 rockers along with it should do the trick pretty well.

try putting lightweight 2.02/1.60 valves in the heads, and yes, you would easily get 40+hp

You don't need all that to get 40HP. Theres stickers the import dudes use for that and I've heard they will work on any car.

I don't know about 40 from just those things, but u will see an improvement thats for sure. Dyno before and after and tell us.

40 hp ??? from just the light induction mods, and with the mods you have.

No

With those mods, and something else like headers, and cam.
Yes, easy.

But...each car is different. Let us know your track mph differences.

You should invest in headers to increase exhaust gas flow, and then you will wake up your monster!
