what would i need to get about 200 whp? besides the obvious i/h/c/e. should i look into some cams, im, etc. thanks.

 

definitely cams, headwork, up compression at the least..and an excellent headerback system.

 

Well..

I love this one.. 206 whp

just so ya know...a car that has a peak hp of 200 can still be slow....its about powerband!!! the area under the cruve shows you how much power a car is making and how useable it is.....if you car makes 240hp at 9500 is not very useable but if you car makes....say 180 consistenly after 6grand ull have quite the fast car

 

Did you check out that site? .. the curve is pretty .. 206 whp w/ mostly OEM parts (and headwork .. that's the biggie)

 

SITE IS DOWN

 

My setup- JRSC @ 8psi, I/H/TP/E, Clutch/Flywheel/LSD, MSD ignition, Map/BTC Controlelrs.

Dynoed at 200whp on a Dyno Dynamics Dyno, roughly 215-220 on a Dyno Jet.

ya your only at peak power for like 1 second so focusing on 200 peak power is just stupid. Your better off building a motor with a good powerband and lots of torgue

you can get 200+whp with no headwork...

pistons, cams, bolt-ons, and tuning will get you there...

 

Site isn't down.. what you guys think of that car?

 

If you want 200whp, you need to up the compression 1st.

The Compression will make or break the motor. You cant run agressive cams, very well at least, on stock compression.

I suggest you get some CTR pistons just to start off with. Then build from there. The Raised compression will make the agressive cams sing so much better in the high RPMs.

 

is that car's owner on this board?

 

may be a dumb question.. but how do you build up on torque?

 

Nitrous is almost always the cheapest power adder. If you want to go all motor, i'm guessing headwork, cams, cam gears and I/H/E will get you there.

 

torque is usually acquired by more volumne...ie. bigger displacement....but thats just a tiny factor in the whole thing....better breathing, better flow, all relate to torque...hp is a eq of the torque...whateva im tired and its early...sleep

 

Forget NA. Boost it. 200whp and a flat torque curve is just about guaranteed with the proper installation of a JRSC. Well over 200 peak WHP can be had from a turbo, with not as nice of a curve depending on how much you know, and how much you want to spend.

 

JRSC is what I want.. do I have the money.. nope

So I'm going N/A .. N/A is more expensive .. but.. I can add stuff slowly.. JRSC huge money at one time down the road.. nahh.. i'll go N/A and if I get a better job.. JRSC

 

Bah. Be responsible. Instead of buying a $200 intake, $400 header, $400 exhaust, $700 cams, $150 cam gears, etc etc etc...put the money in an account and when you have enough, boost away. Im telling you guys, you wont go back

 

turbo... 200+ is easy from there.

 

LOTS AND LOTS OF STICKERS!!!!!!!

I agree, its the best street driven power on the market IMO.
