Odysseys vette build
Hello gents,
Owned the car since 2001 - always garage kept - always serviced on schedule - always been stock but I've decided to set a goal for 400 NA wheel horsepower.
Current mods to date:
-315 rear end swap
-Setrab 18 row transmission cooler
-Setrab 18 row oil cooler
-Canton magnetic cartridge oil filter
-Borla quad stingers exhaust
-Borla x pipe - high flow cats
-BBK TB
-Custom prepreg carbon fiber cold air intakes (self made)
-VIS carbon hood
-Z06 prepreg carbon rear brake cooling ducts (self made)
-Z06 breaks/rotors/stoptech brake lines
-C6 Z06 sway bars
-HID headlight/fog lamps conversion
-Optima red top battery
-Nitto NTO5's all around
I have a set of kooks headers and a fast intake manifold to install just haven't had time to do it.
I'm going to Dyno the car on October 3rd and then install the headers and intake so that I can scale the difference on how much power I gained from the headers and intake manifold.
Pictures coming soon.

Nice mods! I'm assuming you're an automatic since you put in 3.15's. I'm thinking for you to get to 400 rwhp with an automatic you'll probably need heads and a cam on top of all the other mods to get you there. Good luck and keep us posed.

I would agree, it's a longshot to hit 400whp with my potential set up that I list - I wouldn't mind some heads and cam -
and 6 gears to roll through...

How big is the BBK TB.??? If it is less than 90mm It would
