Default Horsepower w/ this setup...

I have a 98 coupe with the following mods: BPP Vortex-Ram Air Induction, Borla XR-1 Exhaust System, Dynatech Supermaxx Long Tube Headers w/o Cats, 3400 Torque Converter, 3.42's, and Dyno Tuned by RevXtreme in Bradenton, FL. Is there anyone with a similar setup? Im interested in knowing what kind of numbers your car made on the dyno and 1/8 and 1/4 times and speeds...

If it was dyno tuned at Rev, shouldn't you know the HP/TQ #'s? The timeslips have alot to do with the driver as well as the car, only 1 way to find out what your 1/4 is

Of course I know the HP/TQ. They just seemed low to me, but from what I understand the Yank High Stall TC makes the dyno read lower than w/o a TC on the car, allthough I posted theards on this topic before people's opinions vary on the TC and what it does to HP/TQ readings on a dyno and I still am not 100% percent sure to what the truth is. As for timeslips, I have never taking it to the track and was just wondering what others have run with a similar setup.

Well, whatever you do....don't share your HP/TQ numbers.

Don't worry so much about your numbers If you are
so concerned spend more money. I started out with
a lowly 284 rwhp, which was on the low side sooooo-
I spent more money and now I am happy for now at
least.

1/4 mile, I would guess very low 12s to high 11s depending on your 60'.

if u know numbers, just list it up. don't ask us to play a guesing game. with ur basic bolt on mods, im going to say 320-335 at best, but being that u said u were dissapointed in numbers, im going to say lower with 320rwhp. With those numbers, you'd prolly run a solid low 13s if you're a good driver. upper 13s if u don't know how to drive a 1320.

HP on the dyno 305.54, TQ was 307.40. Im not asking anyone to play a "guesing game" on the numbers, just what I should expect to lose with the TC. Basically, I want to know roughly how much HP/TQ you lose on the dyno w/ a high stall TC. Baseline was 295.53 Hp and 294.29 TQ.
