Perhaps SP or DaveH or others can give their expert advise on this but I have yet to see this in detail anywhere on the net.
I am looking to get more out of the NA besides the AFC, Intake, Exahust and Cam gears to produce HP approaching 300 to 340. I'm not a glutton for 500 to 700 HP so the mid 300 should do.
And I want to do this without a turbo!
Here's my thought build:
Intake (with or without ported MAF)
Exahust (3.0 to 3.5 diameter)
Cam Gears
Cam Shaft (performance not racing)
Now the above mentioned parts will get me what with this combo? Are there more aggressive intakes or just the one? Will the port and polished MAF gain HP or is that just an excersize in futility?
Will the Cam gears WITH the CAM give me more hp or, agian is this gain more like 2 to 3 hp additional in which case I would'nt even give it the time of day?
Now can the above combo be augmented with:
Larger injectors (is there again in hp with this?)
Better or larger header (this would probably be custom but at what hp level?)
And finally, having the ECU tuned with these parts in mind. Not a fan of the dangling AFC. Would like new power bands programmed into the ECU itself Vs the piggy back method.
Will this setup yeild the 300 to 340 hp desired? Or will it be close OR is this something no one has ever tried before?
SP has gotten north of 600 hp WITHOUT a turbo on an NA. If they can do this then they must know of how to get incremental gains towards 350 HP with off the shelf components mixed in with a few custom parts.
Tell all!!!
