i made 180 whp and 141 torque

my fuel system is stock right now, so my question is with walboro 255 and bigger injectors, would i be able to make 200 whp? or is 180 whp pretty decent numbers for what i have right now? people keep telling me i should be making 210 whp at least, that's really high...

 

My first guess would be 1, you are low on fuel system for what it "can" make but not yet. 2, your header is killing you. It just won't move enough air. Go for SMSP or RMF or anyone, but if they are too pricey, profab will work wonders over what you have right now. 3, with that much compression, you are slightly under cammed. I would look into a larger set of cams.


With those three things, you would most likely have no problem making 210 + but they are all killing you at the moment, header being the big one (and the exhaust isn't helping if it's under 2.5 inches).

 

HEADER was my first thought too but I see Jay_Sensing has already beat me too it.

Start with that, then look into fuel/cams.

 

kk will do thank you

 

I have torque envy

 

Bigger cams, better header, make more power.

 

what'd you tune it with??

my buddys car has a similar build but with less compression and ITR cams, it made 210hp... so you are missing a good ammount of power.

you beat me to it!! skunk2 s1's are realy holding you back along with your header! like you could use a alot bigger cams with 2 litres and 12.5:! compression i say m24x! or s2 p2's

 

it is tuned on BRE obd0, what did your friend with tthe itr cam have for fuel system? stock?

 

I don't think it is the cams that are holding him back. The header needs to be addressed 1st. Get a new header (Profab like Jay said) and re-tune.

 

I also dont believe the cams are holding that motor back!! I would address the header/exhaust and a diffrent tune. That is a fair amount of torque but the power isnt there. I have seen b20s push about 190 with stock bottem end tuned on crome!!


Good luck-Keep us updated!!

 

X2 agreed.
