Was thinking......what numbers would you be looking at here?

Like if we were playing with my old 92. 140hp/180torque...Now if you had the following mods what numbers do you think you could see? Flowmaster catback, no cat, TPI ram air setup, Comp. Cam (the low end torque one), bigger injectors, racing computer chip to go along with the new cam shaft, and to top it off a good set of 4.10 ratio gears.

I dunno what you guys think but I would say this would be good for about 160hp/220torque. And I also think that the setup would give alot of cars a good race off the line. What do you guys think?

your thinking about right. im not shure about the torque but the horse powers right. with that set up you can beat a lot of rice burners maybe even some v8's

sounds about right, the torque may be a little high, but with 4.10's you'll get some nice off the line acceleration. I calculate my 3.1 at 170 hp, but I have a spare set of ported 3.1 heads sitting out waiting to go to the machine shop, so I;m hoping for at least 180 after I get them worked over. I ported them myself and I plan on getting a ghood valve job , .020 shaved off, and the machinist put some 3.02 V8 springs on my heads when I had them shaved for warpage, so I'll have him put some more of these springs on again since he sells them dirt cheap.
