For those that don't venture over to the redline forums, I'm getting some new mods over Christmas break here. I'm finally doing the whole exhaust thing. Going with a clear image auto 4-1 mid length header with 1.75" primaries going to a Stainless steel 3" catless downpipe. This will connect into a cobalt 3" Hahn Racecraft catback lengthened to fit an Ion. Connected into the header will be an Autometer EGT gauge (unless people recommend a different one). Then I will check my IDC% and probably have to bump up to 60# injectors. Also I will be hooking up my water meth injection kit from AEM. Once that is done I will probably be wanting to add a bit more boost and drop to a 2.8" or 2.7" pulley. Depending then on my IAT2 numbers I will then probably take a dremel to the s/c and do some port work. Hoping for around 280whp. Last time I dyno'd I had 245whp on a 2.9" with the stage II tune and stock exhaust. I think with a good tune and these mods on the same dyno 280 could be achieved. Lemme know what you guys think.

 

very achievable maybe not 280..maybe 260-270 more realistic

 

all depends on what kind of dyno. You should be able to reach that.

 

well i'll be going to the same dyno...hence my thoughts on the numbers. i hit 250whp back in august with a 2.9 stage tune and stock exhaust with just a h/e intake and dual pass w/opt b. so i think with all that I would be damn close to 280. especially in this cold weather.

 

i can see 275-280 with a damn good, albeit aggressive tune, especially with the meth

 

good man. having the faith haha. Honestly I just hope that I can pull out a low 13sec 1/4 on streets with these mods.

 

with those mods you COULD pull that low 13 second time, mayb 13.3. on street tires anything lower than that will require some really good driving and more power

 

13.3 would be good enough for me with out any traction mods besides motor mounts haha

 

get yourself some slicks and get 12's
