Hp gains

[battistoni21]

At the beginning of Aug, i should have all of my parts that are laying around finally installed

I am just wondering if anyone would could give me an estimate of how much hp i should be gaining with everything done....

Here is my list of everything that will be installed:

aem shrot ram intake, converted to a cai
TPS-tech
RSM instake manifold
Pacesetter ceramic/armor coated header(s)
Borla cat-back exhaust
magnaflow HF cat converter
SS res pipe (im not 100% sure if this is it, but its the part that connects the headers to the cat converter... i dont think that its going to do anything)

Ive had different estimates from various people..... i'm asking everyone on the board basically because i trust all of you more than the people that I have asked before....

Thanks

its hard to say without you going to a dyno and doing a run stock then a run when you are all done. But if I had to guess you might get 20 to 25 HP gain, and that is just winging a number off the top of my head.

I am going to say 45

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

I'm going to guess 25-ish gain. put that stuff in and dyno it to let us know. to getting the exhaust done the right way the first time!

vtolds is closer

edit randy beat me so yea 25 hp

[ptrudel]

25ish is probly right...should skipped the rsm intake manifold tho...isnt it almost stock and just has rsm stamped into it? shoulda done the 2.3HO swap...but those parts together will make a difference fer sure

personally, I wouldn't by anything from RSM. I mean, I already bought the front STB from them, but later realized that particular thing was pverpriced....and after more research, MOST of their other products are overpriced (not bashing quality though)

And it SAYS that their IM is ported out to 62mm. so it probably is an OEM part, just "ported" (read: dremeled)

[battistoni21]

yeah, thats what i figured..... im getting my TB ported to 62mm....

always remember. HP gains do not compound. deduct about 25% from reported gains per item when you're trying to tally up.

25 maybe 30, where in the hell did 45 come from?

LMAO..............25-45hp from a CAI. header, borla exhaust and HF cat..........lets see Realistic...........

the RSM intake manfold = No hp at all
tps/tec = No hp just quicker throttle response
CAI - 7-8hp
Borla - 7-8hp
header - 7-8 hp
cat - 1-2hp

but all together if you see 15-20hp gain you'll be about right on. but remember this will be around 4000rpm.

now if you get the 62mm tb..........is dumb. 56mm is best for N/A the 62mm will take too much low end away and only gain maybe 3hp on the top end.

like I said, he should just put it all together and dyno it. screw guessing.

Doing Dyno runs get expensive :o

[battistoni21]

hmmmm, maybe i should say screw getting the intake manifold put in

[Vtolds]

The intake makes sence if you are getting the matching throttle body.

[ptrudel]

the rsm one isnt worth the money...get a 2.3ho one

Which is much more than this guy is doing
