Car doesnt feel powerfull enough
Car doesnt feel powerfull enough
Ok guys, I got a 1995 trans am. i have done the following mods:
Cam- 221/227 duration .542"/.560", 114lsa
Pro-Magnum Rocker Arms
612 Valve Srings
138 Ultra Light Weight Chromoly Retainers
391 Hardened Valve Locks
720H Hardened Pushrods
Cloyes True Double Roller
PCM tuned by http://www.pcmforless.com
Electric waterpump
Magnum R lifters
pro5.0 Shifter
Flowmaster 3' catback
SLP CAI
MSD wires
NGK tr6 cold plugs
de-screened and ported MAF
!tb bypass
manual fan switch
!cags disable
1le elbow
aside from the normal maintance stuff thats about ill ive done. its strange though coz the car doesnt feel like its soppoused to with all the mods. i raced a 99 mustang today and it was waaay to close for comfort especialy coz his was stock. my car is a 6 spd and has about 90k miles. im thinking it might be a bad clutch but other than the slight lack of power it feels fine. anyone know about how much HP im making or soppoused to be making and have any idea what my problem might be??? i was told that i should be making about 350hp, but with 350 i should be mopping the floor with modified mustangs. PLEASE HELP GUYS!!!
thanks

Re: Car doesnt feel powerfull enough
you might need some tuning as well. That seems very strange. Ive raced several stockish 99+ mustang gt and absolutly walked them. My mods are below. Not nearly as many as you have. I am putting in 1.6rr's and long tubes in this weekend, then it will be a different story
Re: Car doesnt feel powerfull enough
yea, the weird thing is that my car is already tuned. and yes i do mash the pedal to the floor. could i be changing gears at the wrong RPM?? at what RPM do you think i should be changing gears in? i usualy do it at about 5700 or so. also, i just got 18 in wheels, but i dont think that would make that big of a differnece. really need the help guys, im dying here.

PORTED MAF = BAD FOR YOU
Ill bet you money your Air/Fuel ratio is WAY off because of this.
You need a PCM tune as well to change your spark curve, stock spark curve on an aftermarket cam will hurt performance.
