    Borla Headers and test pipe.

    the fastest i could go on the dyno was 98. but if you let off the gas to let it shift into overdrive then get back on it, it will keep on going.

    Borla Headers and test pipe.

    I got it dynoed! I gaind 5HP and 4Ft/lbs. Not The gain i was hoping for but it is a gain. The gains in sound make it worth it. I can tell that the gas mileage has gone up as well. When we pulled for the baseline it was from 2800-4500RPM and when we did it with the headers it was 2100-4700.

    Borla Headers and test pipe.

    it sinks down to 12.6 and that is normal and when it was idleing it was at 14.6 which is right whare it should be. the dyno opperator said the auto makers do that to the fuel to prevent pinging which can destroy an engine. i am getting it re-dynoed tomorrow morning at 9:30 and sence i attend...

    Borla Headers and test pipe.

    I got the results today. It made 111 HP at about 4200K and 150 TQ at about 3K. The power and TQ curves have almost the same shape, the TQ output goes up with the RPM greatly untill it peaks then it slowly drops off. The horse power rises fast to about 3K, then starts to gradually increase untill...

    Engine Swap Ideas (Fun Thread)

    to make a heavy car go fast you need TQ and lots of it. if i were you i would go with the stroked 302. that will most likely give you the most TQ and give you the ability to lay rubber. i dont think any of your other options will do that. but that V6 sho shounds like something for a 2X4...
