think it'll be enough for 300whp?
pic related (before IM and TB)

 

im making the power in my sig with the same setup minus the victor x and have a cast mani at 11 psi

 

i made 306 @ 10lbs on a stock b16a2 with arp headstuds/gsr cams/eclipse injectors.
u should be able get 300 with the right tune

 

for 300whp stick with the stock intake manifold

 

how would shorter runners supplying more air hurt performance?

 

i think what he was trying to say was that for theat power level the stock intake manifold would have sufficed but the victor x provides maximum torque between 7.5 and 9k

i wish i had a victor x...

 

you guys keep on with WHP.. horsepower is a made up number.. your torque curve is what you and your tuner should be focusing on.

I have the numbers in my sig, our torque is around the same.. my HP numbers are only 248 and we would run side by side down the track.

 

just because your tq is the same doesnt mean ****, its all about gearing and having the power put to the ground


and the victor x will only provide gains when reved high, i had one and compared to an itr/skunk2 it was horrible untill 430+whp and then the gains started showing

not to mention your head has gsr cams and who knows what valvetrain so you wont even get to the revs to get the full potential of the victor x

 

^^ oh yea.. +1 gearing and traction is also a factor to consider. But WHP is still a made up number and doesnt mean ****

 

true, the cams that are in the head are the only set back. head came off a boosted crx that reved to 9500 and ran 10's.

should have the car back tomorrow from the tuner to see what it does. my only fear is that tomorrow is going to be 95* with 90% humidity

 

hey, it makes me feel better seeing 300something whp on a piece of paper saying that, and i can say i built the motor. i dont care if it is made up, makes me feel good.
