what kinda power would i be looking at to the wheel with this setup?

hader/dp/exhaust
intake
h/e
60s
2.8
opt B tank
mild to agressive tune

 

240-250

 

A redline made 278 hp and 255 tq with a cobra h/e 2.8 60's intake header and tune from tom from ohio

 

240-250? Don't you think that's a Lil low?

 

2.7" i think.

Travis's car is still slow

OP: My guess is in the 260whp range

 

It true!.. I saw it!.. Then I Raced it!

 

high 250's - low 260's

 

240-260 depending on the dyno. Go to my local dyno and you'd be lucky to hit 220.

 

no, it's not too low. too many people get their hopes up too much, and then get disapointed. 240-250 is a good guess. basically anything you do to your lsj puts you in the 240-250 range.

 

250-260

 

yeah man its going to make like 240 - 260. i pretty much almost have the same set up as you except i dont have a header and i put 240. sorry to change subject but anyone know how much boost i should be pushing? 2.8 pull im pushing 15 now

 

if im reading this correctly ur boosting 15psi on 2.8? im on 2.9 boosting 115kpa which is 16.6psi

 

Remember boost does not equal power, and different exhaust setups will make different amounts of boost.

 

Correct.. I made 17 psi on a 2.6" Pulley.. All depends on your setup

 

yeah im only making 17.5-18 psi on a 2.6. but i have a ported blower and full vibrant exhaust

 

our stock eaton m62 will make 250 wheel horsepower relatively easy, but past that it gets harder and harder to make power, because at 250 thats pretty much the max effiency of it past that you start running into problems with heatsoak, although im not saying that you cannot counter that heatsoak, my one friend currenty is running a 2.5 on his ion with meth, its meeeean

 

well i have a 2.8 60s tune intake header catless and h/e with a coolant resi. and i made 276 whp maybe it has to do with where u live.

 

260+

 

boost is just a measure of restriction... a freer flowing engine will produce more power at less boost. things like exhaust work, hi flow cats, headers, etc will reduce boost because the engine is working more efficiently, which lets it make more power with less work. that's why different setups will produce different boost #'s. there's too many variables involved to say x puley = y boost.

 

260 which is close to or a little above 300 at the crank but to be putting 260 at the wheels is not bad whatsoever. remember its better then a honda

 

very true
