I'm pretty excited to see what kind of numbers the car will put down. Me and a buddy have some dyno time on Friday. I'm hoping 290+ hp. Am I way off? It's more of a base run for this spring when the cam goes in. What do you all think with the mods below? It's kind of funny that I'm hoping to be putting down almost twice as much as my buddy. He has a little four banger Nissan. The even funnier thing is that I watched him put a good 5-7 car lenghts on a 4.6 GT this weekend.

 

Was the GT racing?

I'd guess in the 280rwhp range.

 

I would guess 280-295rwhp if everything is in tune with the car. Definitely post the results when you get them.

How heavy are those rims? That can have a noticable effect on the power output.

 

Yes they were racing. The same thing happened all three times. They would take off, the GT would just leave him and then the little ricer would just fly past it at about the half way mark. The little car is a blast to drive with the full auto x suspension. Reving to 8500 is something else. This car always walked all over a buddy of mines Lt1 Trans Am. All of that was off subject, sorry.

I would be satisfied with 280-285, but would be extremly happy with a little more than that for the time being.


Not for sure how much the wheels weigh, I imagined that they would bring it down a very small amount. I thought about putting the stockers back on but didn't figure it would be worth the time and effort.
