Default horse power and quartermile time

i have a question. i have a 88 hatch with an ls swap and it has 140hp stock and runs a 14.6 quatermile on drag radials. im wondering if ne one knows how much horse power and what my car might run with the following mods:

b16 ported vtec head, skunk2 stage 2 cams, skunk2 adjustable cam gears, skunk2 dual valve springs and retainers, 4-1 header match port, cold air intake, skunk2 racing intake manifold match port, 68mm. throttlebody match port, vtec controller, chiped ls ecu, fpr, ITR pistons, and APR rod bolts and head studs? thanks

No one knows.
I'm 100% sure your not making 140whp.
Did you yourself actually run your car on drag radials and achieve the 14.6?

What a 15year (ish) old motor is rated at and what it makes is totally different.

If you want to know what your times would be then all you can do is put the parts on, hop in and make passes...it should be faster than 14.6...at least 14.5

Yep. There is no "set" formula to use to figure out how much horsepower a lsvtec will put out, and what quarter mile time it will have. Too many factors involved. It will for sure though be faster than 14.6.


Yes Ls's are rated at around 140hp to the crank, but not to the wheels.
