AM91_Camaro should be close to 200hp @ the rear wheels.

I'm somewhere around 240hp @ the rear with 12psi on the turbo, I believe... won't know until I get to the track, which won't be until after I make a new (better spooling!) Y pipe...

I really don't know.... How do you calculate HP from track times again???? I'd just say " More than I had when I started..."

wow! thats what i'm talking about
i'm trying to locate a DYNO near me
(i live in NYC) so that i can get a reading
of it now with just the intake and headers

(i wish i thought of doing it b/4 i had them installed
last year but oh well)

when and if i locate on soon I'm thinking about running the
numbers after each new mod just so we can look back and
see some real numbers and not just the est........

thats what i was going to do (make a run after each mod) but i was doing the dyno in houston and now im living in florida. so that makes it harder for me to get a chance to get it done. so i decided to just do a before and after.
