Just like any car, it's not just about the parts you hang on it. With dynos you obviously have the variance between them too; the absolute numbers aren't as important as the before-and-after comparisons. I asked about timeslips because they are more directly comparable.

360 whp is on the low end for a Green but certainly not unheard of. 400 is not the high end either, and I wouldn't be upset to find my car made "only" 390. The Green I have is a 56lb/min turbo, or over 700 cfm. There are still variables like the fuel supply (injector size), tune, and the owner's desire for a "safety zone" so they don't trash their car on a bad tank of gas.

You'll find I'm a car guy, period -- not confined to any brand or country of origin. If there's a discussion on a topic I have experience in, I'll be part of it. It may not always be what people like to hear but I try to keep it objective. I've wrenched and driven a wide variety of vehicles.

I think it's fair for me to question that an LT1 with intake / full exhaust / 50 shot = 150 horsepower over stock. Just because I do so doesn't make me some kind of hater, ricer, or idiot.

 

in all honesty ,i dont know i have only had the car about 3 months or so ......once i got it i started tearin it apart the motor is bone stock ,only bolt ons :for now: ..........im doin some baseline numbers this weekend as our local track is openin so ill see then .the scooby ran a 12.1 at 113 last yr i was there to see that so i know its true ......and he runs the **** out of the car .......but i have a question for ya why ya hatin on my car and thinkin theres more into it than what i say ?does it matter ? i dont think so im just carefull and ask questions about what goes into my car

 

With a real car it would. You sub 120mph built car is not going to be the end all to anything... Not to mention your talking about a car that doesnt even run, so wtf dude?

 

360awhp<350rwhp from a roll by ALOT. Most 50 shot, bolt-on lt1's run alot better then you think.



Also what kind of dope are you to think that a lt1 would need 150hp over stock to beat a AWD car from a roll that only makes 360-380rwhp? A 150hp over stock lt1 would flat out wax your mighty green modded jdm junk...... Fact!





That said why are there so many subaru owners on here? We dont care about your slow cars.....

 

Not true. Once you're moving it doesn't matter what wheels are powered. It all becomes weight and CF then.

 

Please explain. Where did he throw his car in your face? 120 mph 1/4 mile car is going to take down the vast majority of this board (myself included.)

Alot of hating over someone just trying to inform.

 

I'm not doubting you. It's just from my personal experience with friend's cars I hadn't seen a 400 whp Suby yet. Now if that STi trapped 120 and not the 113 that the OP said then I would have to question the LT1. But with the later info I have no problem seeing the results in the video with mods mentioned. I just know for damned sure that I wouldn't race that STi from a dig.

 

That isn't entirely true either. An AWD car is going to have much greater drivetrain loss as the speed increases. Its great on the launch but hurts the rest of the run.

 

That's why posting the wheel hp is good, it has already taken drivetrain loss out of the equation.

Mclovin, the reason I'm on this board is because I have owned 2 previous modded LT1's and have helped build my brothers supercharged L98 Z28. As John said we are all car guys who appreciate all vehicles. John was simply trying to come in and offer some insight into a vehicle that he is familiar with. Trust me, this guy knows a thing or two about turbo's and forced induction.

Read what you quoted. I said my car's 5spd won't have problems spooling from a 20 roll like the 6spd does. That means to create boost.

I've built cars faster than where this one will end up. If my family sedan traps 118-119 I'll be fine with it. I've raced enough people in the last 20 years to know I won't be the fastest but you can bet I won't be the slowest either.

I can't believe you're giving me grief because the car isn't on the road yet. Have you ever built a car? Do you do it all in one day? I have quite a bit going on right now and the car isn't top priority.

If both cars are equal stock and you add 150 hp to both, how is one going to automatically win?

The 150hp value comes from the guesses that the OP's car will trap ~ 115 mph, or about 15 higher than stock. If you subtract the 50 shot and 5 mph, that's still 100hp/10 mph from exhaust and bolt-ons. That's higher than most LT1 owners have reported and that's why I asked about it.

That's because "back in the day" when I joined this was the only place where knowledgeable car discussions happened. Other sites were full of fanboys for a particular car and they didn't know anything about any other cars.

You talk a lot of smack about my slow car having trouble with "real" cars. Just how fast is yours again?

 

360whp is 360whp no matter if its to 2 wheels or 18.

 

That's good stuff right there.

 

You think I wasnt taking that into account when I made that post??? We are talking about f-bodies and wrx's here.....

 

Just about every FULL bolt on t-56 LT1 lays down over 300rwhp, I've even seen quite a few go 315rwhp+. Now the 50 shot, now factor in the wrx is shapped like a box... If you had any clue you wouldnt be posting the crap you are now.


My last build took 1 week, how many months has your current car taken? As far as how my car runs, just know that it does run. Once your junk is finished you still wont have enough. Your built car is nothing compaired to the built cars on here....




Now go play with the slow kids and stop calling bs on what you dont know. http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/

 

I think we might need the moderator to step in on this one...
