94 Cobra Dyno - 305 hp 320 tourque- expected more?

[ballx4xlife]

Hey guys, I had my car dyno'd and tuned last october. I have the Trick Flow H/C/I package (track heat intake, twisted wedge heads, stage 1 cam) 75mm throttle body, UD pulleys, new coil, headers, x-pipe, catback, CAI, 90mm MAF i believe, 30 lb injectors, smog pump delete and A/C delete.

It put down 305 hp and 320 torque at the wheels with the final tune. With 15% drivetrain loss, thats about 360 at the crank. I expected more than that. Do you think I should have gotten more?

That's about right for that kit. Ive seen 315-330 with more aggressive cams and larger intakes.. ~300 rwhp is usually the mark to pass NA.

Yeah, Trick Flow advertises 360 hp (at the crank) with their kit. I figured since I have more than just the H/C/I kit, I would have more.

I only put down 320whp. Guess its time for a force induction!

Agreed!:beer: I already have N20 but I currently have a post in the forced induction section asking about turbo kit. I'm looking at the on3performance kit.

whats the stage one cam, you may not have the best cam for your setup is why I ask. what do the twisted wedge heads flow?

I liked my h/c/i i 94 with its afrs and whatnot spending $$$ to make those same #s.....right up until I lost to my brothers 99 z28 with 160k and a lid/catback.

Slap a blower on it and don't look back. I ran that cam on 11psi on an s-trim @ 430whp. Get the track heat ,rpmii or a systemax, afm b41hr (iirc) and twist it to 6800 on 12psi and meth.

N/a with no cubes sucks

At least try not to walk the mains on a 5.0 twisting it. Or you can rev a 4v to the moon and have a no tq streetcar that's lazy under 4k.

nope I graduated UP back in 06, so its been a few years, I have since gone on and obtained another degree, kinda makes me feel old now lol

I miss it but you have to grow up someday

Yeah, Trick Flow advertises 360 hp (at the crank) with their kit. I figured since I have more than just the H/C/I kit, I would have more.

Trick flow proably also had similar "supporting mods" like the larger inlet/TB, exhaust etc to make those numbers.

Those numbers arent bad either. You're making what the "norm" makes, with the typical heads/cam/intake setups on stock 5.0Ls with all those other mods. They usually put down 290-320 RWHP and similar torque, depending on the total combination.

my buddy had the stage 1 cam tfs 170cc heads and a holley intake with 24lb injectors and made 317rwhp and like 340rwtq. so your about right on ur power

yeah my buddy has a 99 z28 with cat-back and were a close race, i beat him pretty good with a 100 shot, sucks puttin that money into h/c/i and a basically stock z28 and still run with you, but thats how it goes. i think im buying the on3performance kit within the next day or 2 and ill go from there!

 

[ModularSpeed]

Not bad. You can get into the 315 range with some tweaking, but its not really worth it if you plan on boosting it.

I like my 4.6 4V, N/A streetcar. Who needs low end torque, 4.56's solve that.

Keep us updated.

You are right in line with where I'd expect you to be...

 

[SVT Pille]

I just bought that kit waiting for install. Sounds about right they advertise 360hp at the crank.

That z28 might take you on the highway but with just bolt on's I ran near identical times in my Cobra (13.89) vs my cold camaro (13.79). Take him to the track and see if you get a different outcome.

 

[maniak87]

yea, sounds about right

 

[crazycarlo]

yeah thats bout right. You could get a diff cam and intake like stated or buy a 331 kit and then have some fun.
