2004 automatic that made 372 rwhp and 352 torque (104 degree texas heat) on the dyno at sunshine performance in killeen, tx.

What it has
Cam ( i did not have it put in so i know nothing about it)
long tube headers
cat delete
Vararam
underdrive pulley
exhaust
18 inch rims
MSD plug wires
professional tune
everything else i assume is stock. I bought the car about a week ago.


I have a wife, kids, mortgage, and all that stuff so my goals have to come in stages. My first goal is 400 rwhp. Eventually I would like to get a Texas speed long block and a porcharger, but thats just a dream at this point. My buddy has a cobra that put down 526 rwhp, and talks a lot of smack, so ultimately driving by him is my goal. I feel like if i can get within 100 hp of him i could have a chance. So please make any suggestions, or let me know how you achieve similar goals.

Here is what i expect to do next. in no particular order, except gears will be next.

3.73 gears
LS6 intake manifold
MSD ignition and coils
36# injectors
upgraded fuel rail
TB and MAS upgrade
Torque converter with stall
stock 241 heads port and polished

So please let me know if i am on the right track. Suggest brands, Specs, where you would focus your money, how you achieved your performance goals, ECT.....

 

if he has a stick and can't drive it you probably have him now

 

You already have the LS6 manifold on the car.

 

I thought i read somewhere on this forum that it was a cheap upgrade. But thanks, that shows how much of a newb i am. This is my first LS1 car. I was previously a mustang guy, but now i am all in on the Vette. So there will be a learning curve.

 

Yeah its a 2010-2014 cobra. I figure with that much HP, and street tires he would smoke the tires, then there is always the possibility of missing a gear. But i still would like to gain some RWHP on him. His cobra has bout 600 lbs on the Vette.

 

Good call and congrats on your new ride

My buddy has a new GT with the racing package so 430hp. So 80+ hp on my stock C5 but I'm all over him from a stop.. He was so sad after dropping $50k on his car he is looking at superchargers lol

If he does that I'm just going to get 100 shot of NOS ( ;
