do u have a dyno history? if so please post, then i'll give my guess :)

[rlinbatonrouge]

Please don't list the type of oil that you use as a mod.

[rlinbatonrouge]

I say 240 (248 exactly). I doubt those slotted rotors will give you any more hp:blockhead:

[FunkyStickman]

What altitude are you at? That would make a difference, as would ambient air temps.

The setup you have should be capable of 250+ HP under ideal conditions. We'll see...

[bc3tech]

i say 256whp/243wtq. heat soak is going to be murda.

[Cat Ion]

264/235

you don't have $20 to hang out at the track, but you can get dyno tuned - sweet.

I'll be you're Huckleberry and say 248/229 - and you'll be pushing the limits of lean up top...probably around 12:1 - of course a good tuner won't let that happen, which means your power numbers will be sacraficed.

Which bodes the question - who's doing the tuning, and have they done any LSJs?

...and I'm not ruling out blowing up altogether, b/c heat is gonna kill ya - as BC3 said. Going on an abnormally cold day will help you in that respect.


(and he's at about 5600' or so, for whoever asked)

[RL_Clark]

I'm going with 240 simply because of the CAI...the best mod that ever was.
No really, I'm gonna say that you'll likely throw down 246/228.
Oh, is it a catless dp? And good luck with the dyno tune.

Im using my tax stimulus check to get tuned...

and im at 6200'

[Cat Ion]

I pulled 240/225 with a CAI, stage 2, and mild HPtuning. Nothing else. So there should be a tad bit more power in there if tuned properly.

[JayCizzo]

I'd like to bid $1 Bob.

Seriously though, I voted 250+.

I'd say 240/227

I love my AFR's ~12.3

No clue what altitude does, since I have 0 experience with it. They can run a smaller pulley with 42's and get away with it, which pisses me off. I love being on or near sea level.

you're right - in cooler weather, low 12s probably isn't that bad...but once it warms up, I don't want my AFR any higher than 11.8 - unless I've got the cooling mods to keep things under control.

I honestly don't know about AFRs in relation to altitude either...I'll report back as soon as I pick up that LC-1

[rlinbatonrouge]

I can't figuer this one out. Why do you want a richer AFR when it is hotter outside?

b/c more fuel tends to cause increases in cooling, to an extent...

That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't totally sure.

[MGM1979]

there's a debate on how beneficial it is vs. the power loss associated with a richer mixture, but I'd much rather deal with slightly cooler cylinder temps and a few less horses than risk catastophic failure b/c I was pushing the AFR limits.
