Enginepower TV
Sorry if this is a dup, did a search and didn't see anything.
Was watching Enginepower today on Spike, they are putting a Trick Flow kit on a 2007 C6 Corvette, called Atomic blast.
They did a before baseline and the car put down ~370 hp and 360 something in torque, might be off as I'm relying on memory. Car was a 6 speed and the did the pull in 4th gear.
They are putting on some type of Trick flow kit, it's heads, Cam, MSD Intake, and somebody's shorty headers to keep the whole thing 50 state legal. It's pretty cool as I was just thinking about something like this, except with a Z06 exhaust to pass the visual here in CA.
They took the car apart and showed all the steps to get the block stripped, cleaned it up and bolted on the heads, cam, intake and shorties. Next week they are doing brakes, wheels, suspension and then a tune and dyno results.

Unless I am missing something....you tell us what the baseline run was, but not the "after" run??????
If the 370 was the before, the car has already been tuned, or had some work done.
I must have missed something....

Well they got 440 hp out of Heads, cam, rockers, shorty headers, cat back system. Gain of ~70 RWHP.
I was kinda unimpressed, I mean 70 RWHP is nothing to sneeze at, but it seems like they spent 3/4 of what an Edelbrock SC would cost and got half the HP gain.
What did you guys think?

Besides all that these builds on tv almost always underperform mostly bc the builds are sponsored by a company. They're certainly not tailored to make the most hp
But yes in general you can always make more hp with boost dollar/dollar but then again you're looking at 2 different situations
Exactly
