[QUOTE="mustangmanjeff, post: 15423217, member: 29948"] he wants small things to change I dont think he has the $ to drop a blower on it etc. he said what can he change. he can do a cam intake tune and stall. If he does a stall and diffrent gears and maybe better cam and intake it will wake the car up alot! and Hes not gonna be making 500 wheel hp on a stock shortblock especially through a stock aod auto lol the stock shortblock is only good to 500-550 crank hp, even on 8-10 lbs of boost maybe 400-425rwhp tops on an auto car, 450-500rwhp with maybe 12+psi through a manual 5 speed car but then its on borrowed time will need to be rebuilt forged or new block, ive seen auto cars with a blower only make 350-380rwhp on 8 to 10psi with an auto and 5 speed cars 400-425rwhp. i would say 425rwhp max where my car was dynoed the tuner told me a heads cam car with stock motor with 8-10psi safe tune is around 400-425rwhp he doesnt like to go much higher then 425rwhp on a stock motor, higher compression forged maybe 450-500rwhp max. anything more your in block splitting territory and you dont want to go much more then 8-12psi on a stock motor or KABOOM! thats why most the kits are for 6-9psi entry s trim kit and the other kits are 8-12 psi. The old pushrod cars dont seem to make good wheel horsepower numbers with superchargers. The turbo and nitrous cars on other hand ive seen bone stock motor guys throw budget turbo kits on only 5 to 10 psi of boost on there cars make over 400RWHP without even doing exaust. then you have full bolt on cars with vortechs make 290-350rwhp on a stock car. and with heads cam be lucky to make over 400+rwhp. People forget these cars only made what 170-190rwhp stock. so even if you pick up 100+rwhp with a blower its still only a 270-290+ rwhp car with a blower. add another 100+rwhp for a heads cam setup. your still at 370-400rwhp. Which made me go the n.a route , I decided to go diffrent route go with a higher compression 306 keep it n/a makes decent power tons of low end makes over 350rwhp n/a pulls all the way to 6200rpms, and the car is only 3200lbs. That being said .. I wouldnt go as far as " hard to beat" are cars are looked down upon as red headed step child for being heavier and underpowered compared to the foxbody cars. only thing these cars having going for them is they can be had for cheap and parts are cheap and they are decent weight compared to new cars, they are only 3200-3400lbs. take some weight out you got a 3,000lb car with 300-400hp. but the new 5.0 cars out of the box bone stock are making 350-390rwhp. so even with mods these cars I wouldnt say hard to beat :( I still love my though, I would love to do larger set of the new trickflow heads and or stroker kit pick up a nice 50+rwhp bump then it would be a good run for a cam ls1 or newer cars. 380-400rwhp and only 3200lbs.
