"Guess my WHP"
I guy I work with is having his car tuned this week and hitting the dyno a little later on. People at work are offering up some crazy guesses. I thought I would see what the "Experts" think.
Stats (Please excuse the lack of info as the car was built FOR him)
2000 ish Chevy Cavalier
Stock head
Fully built block with low compression something like 8:1
Average size turbo (nothing crazy)
Very large injectors 1000cc?
Intercooler
full exhaust
Stock computer
Street tuned using a wideband O2 and SAFC ONLY
Sorry again for my lack of details
My guess was 210 whp

You are on the most **** retentive forum on the planet but you want us to guess your wheel horsepower on a Chevy, with no intercooler size, no exhaust size, a wild guess on the injectors, another wild guess on the turbo, and no engine management??????
Dude, zip up your flame suit because it's about to get ugly.

Way to many variables to even begin to guess. You dont knwo turbo size, how much boost that turbo runs (useless without knowing the turbo anyways), tuning is a key role in power, etc.
It has already turned bad. Id PM a mod and get this **** closed before it gets out of hand. .02

hahah taht is a tough one. what does that thing rev to stock? either way, there are some chevy forums and some smart people on there with some type of ecu tuning, not sure how it works but always wanted to get into it due to the lack of cavy tuners. most around here are just show cars.

Re: (pennhatch)
Best thread of the day.
Given that it's a two syllable name of the car (Cobalt), and judging from the Earth's rotation and the stars being aligned properly the night before tuning, I'd venture to say it will put down approximately 260.78whp and 281.6 ft lbs of torque @ 12psi.
If the stars aren't properly aligned, it will probably blow up on the dyno.
