Buddy of mines car, Basically a "bolt on" car with a Vortec SC Dynoed at 460 HP 425 TQ 14 lbs boost. Boost sits at 14lbs from 4500 all the way up to 6000? Completely stock engine, Stock transmission, Stock rear end but the parts were cryo treated. Thoughts....
97 Cobra Dyno'd
- Thread starter Cannons
- Start date
nice numbers..... he is on borrowed time...
I had a friend with a vortech blown 97, stock pulley seeing 8-9psi at redline, bbk longtubes, o/r h, flows and 4.10's dyno at 455rwhp. With 14psi, I would expect much more than 5hp, however, he doesn't have longtubes and it would be safe to assume that his tune is on the conservative side.
I'd back it off a little more. lol
At 14 psi he should be around 550-600 rwhp. I have only 8psi and I'm very close to that.
hmm tell him to listen for that TICK TICK TICK cause that motor is a time bomb

I assume you guys are saying this because the internals haven't been changed out?
Tell him to get some water-methanol injection on that thing to kill detonation as well as a REALLY good tune and it'll live for a little while if a rod doesn't make a dramatic exit from the block. I will agree that the numbers are kinda low, but that could be a lot of factors.

yeah, that's one thing... we have pretty weak pistons and rods... they're usually the first to go
