how close to 300hp will I get?

STREET6 · February 23rd, 2008, 02:29 PM

Here is the build up:
302-306ci depending on machining needed.
GT-40P heads that I am self porting.
E-303 cam.
Crane Gold 1.6 roller rockers.
Performer RPM intake.
Holley street avenger 650cfm carb.
MAC GT-40P shorty headers.
2.5" exhaust with x pipe and highflow cats.
MSD Pro Billet distributor
MSD COIL and 6AL box.
March brackets and pullies driving only the waterpump and alternater.

What plugs and wires should I use?
What HP can I expect with good timing and air/fuel ratio?

This will be going into my 95 coupe with a t5 and 3.73 gears.
Guess on a quarter mile time?
Thanks

13's because you have no suspension up there.I have somewhat of a set up close but with the suspension in the back and 26x10 slicks and I have gone 8.3 in the 1/8th mile and thats equivalent to high 12's in the 1/4.you should make 260 something or so to the wheels is about right ,which is like 300 to the crank.

i like autolite plugs and motorsport wires..

you would see more HP with Longtubes

you should consider a custom grinded cam, seems to be better these days in the n/a world then production cams

All this hype on custom cams...It isnt needed in this case. A good off the shelf cam will due just fine, for less than half the price...Although the e303 might not be the best choice, off the shelf cams are good.
