How much power can I expect ?

[MathieuG89]

Approximatively how much HP and TQ could I expect from the following combo :

Stock 1995 5.0 with 105k miles

K&N air filter
C&L 73mm MAF housing
Custom 75mm air inlet tube
Foxbody conversion w/ 75mm throttle body
EGR delete w/ 1/2" x 75mm EGR spacer
GT40 upper intake manifold
GT40 lower intake manifold
24lbs Cobra injectors
Walbro 190LPH fuel pump
BBK O/R H-pipe
Smog pump delete w/ shortened belt
BAMA 4-bank eliminator chip

Would that be enough to beat a stock new edge 4.6 ?

agreed its not much of an addition of power with just intake/exhaust.

 

[MathieuG89]

So the only way to compete against a new edge 4.6 would be to change the stock E7TE heads on my 5.0 ?

or boost it

We got slow cars! LOL...but they are fun to drive hard! Good heads. a good cam & a matching intake should do it...Twisted Wedge has a HCI kit for a decent price.

Nope throw a set of 3.73s in and you will walk stock new edges all day.

I think power wise would be somewhere in the 230/280 range.

 

[MathieuG89]

So an increase of 15 HP and a loss of 5 lbs-torque ?

If you got driver mod, 3.73s and those mods and it'll be a drivers race..

 

[the5.ohh]

Sidenotes. Get the Walbro 255 fuel pump, skip the 190. And the fox tb conversion doesn't really net any gains over the normal 94-95 setup, just looks cleaner honestly. Figured I'd share my .02

I was talking RWHP not fly wheel. So, yes.

The car is manual of course. I have already installed half of what's on that list on my car, the other half is waiting in the guests room lol. Unfortunately, I had to let go a nice deal on a set of rebuilt GT40P heads with Crane springs installed on... it's too bad that I'm strapped for cash at the moment. I guess I'll have to wait until next year before swapping the old E7's. I was trying to be optimistic about the numbers I'd be putting down this summer. My friend has a 2014 SI and he's always bragging about how hard it pulls when it hits VTEC... I'm hoping my 22 years old pushrod can still give him a run for his money when we'll face on the 1/4 mile this summer

when it hits vtek - its been a while since I knew one of those dudes.

Add some gears and a stage 2 clutch and you can beat nodded new edge

Now how in the world will the addition of a stage 2 clutch help??? It wont, thats the answer.

on the dark colored scheme I could hardly see that you wrote anything below it.

For some reason the site gets weird on me from time to time and won't let me put a space after typing... so I copied and passed that from Facebook haha

it happens after you quote someone. I find if you hit enter a few times and then go back up it will allow spaces
