I need some advice on what else to buy for my engine. My engine is on the stand, and i need some advice on whatelse to add to it. I have a 355, CC305, the dual springs, crane 1.6 rr, ported heads and intake, 5 angle valve job, BBK shorty's, the under drive crank pulley and ported mass air. I am looking for around 400 RWHP, How close am i? and what else would i need to add to get that?
thanks your help is greatly appreciated. Its an A4 with a 2800 stall.

Get rid of the shortys and get Long tubes hooker make a good set and go 1.75

 

I am assuming you have CAI, cat-back etc.. already. If so, you might want to go with a little bigger cam than the CC305 since you have ported heads. Long tubes wouldn't be a bad idea either.

 

No i dont have a cold air induction yet, i was going to wait till i have the engine back in the car. I guess i got a set of BBK shortys for sale.

 

How ported are the heads, flow numbers? If they are decent, get a bigger cam, something like a 224/230 or along that line. Longtubes would be great, especially over the BBks, I think this is true, its something i heard a while ago, but i think the ports are round on the BBKs and our exhaust ports are the D ports so there is some flange cutting into airflow. Other than that you are pretty much set on the motor.

 

Well, depending on how extensively the heads are ported, you'll probably see about 365-385 at the wheels depending on the heads. To get 400 at the wheels, you're gonna need to step it up a bit on the cam. CC306, 230/236 XE, of GM847 should do it for ya. The CC305 and 224/230, while outstanding cams, just don't have enough to get there. This coming straight from several sources.

 

I want to thank those people who wrote me, i do appreciate the help, I guess i will change cams, much easier to do it with it on a stand. Thanks again

 

If you are interested in the GM847 cam i have a sound clip of it if you would like to hear it ....... i will email it to you

 

Yea i would like to hear it. Thank you
