I just replace my opti with a new ACdelco unit,i was just wondering how much HP can handle safely before blowing up?its also better than the accel right?

 

Sorry i forgot,its a 97z28,6m

 

How much horsepower are you making?

AC Delco opti's can handle A LOT

 

It also depends on how many RPM's you are spinning to and what ignition system you have....

 

about 300rwhp only bolt ons,i only rev at 5700rpm. My goal its 500hp

 

AC delco will be more than adequate for your application

I am making around 550 RWHP with my AC delco without any problems

 

It's not an issue of HP, but RPMs. 5700 is not enough to bother it.

BTW, moderators really dislike seeing the same post in multiple forums... http://64.65.63.61/forums/showthread.php?t=526702

 

Thanks for the info.I also got the accel coil that makes 48000volts and taylor 8mm wires.Eventually i want to do the LE3 CAM and forged assembly,also a supercharger,i've got $5000 to spend but i want save a little bit more

 

Oh yeah and sorry about that,i was going to errase it before i post it,i know its annoying

 

Right along w/ Shoebox, don't worry about the HP. From what I've read over the years, ~6,800-7,000 rpm is about the limit before you start to run into problems.

 

I've seen the optical section support 8,000 RPM and 1,125 HP.

 

So I'm on the safe side....

 

you should be safe the the opti. I put in a new ACdelco opti along with a new AC coil and have MSD wires.

Mods are in my sig and have spun the motor to 7K without any issues so far..

 

sounds like i made a good choice with the ACdelco opti.Hey tnmotown you have any times with ur current set up?

 

no i havent taken it to the track yet. Before the tranny went though, i did beat a Lambo, Cobra, my brothers '01 Z06, and some others cars that were a waste of my gas. July 11th a bunch of my friends and I are going to Sacramento raceway to get some times. Want to dynotune it before though
