Default I don’t know what el



I've got my car relatively fast. I don't know the hp it puts out tho [maybe someone good here could ballpark it] I'm to the point where I don't know what else to do.</P>


I've got: 302 long block, cold air induction, 70mm throttle body, cobra intake manifold, GT-40 heads, B-303 cam, Fireball ignition, 3.73 gears, stock T5 trans, pro 5.0 short shifter, BBK shorty headers, off road x pipe, and magnaflow mufflers.</P>


From here I don't know where to go. What else is there to do performance wise...? I'd like to hit the 400hp mark, am I close?</P>


Ya so... thanks to anyone who can help me out a bit...</P>

I'd say that you should get the T-5 Hardend rebuild kit to hold the 400+hp.

Is that just a rebuild kit with harder parts in order to withstand power?

How about some 24lb injectors with a new 80mm MAF? And an aluminum driveshaft form FRPP. You could also get some pulleys, new 1.7 rollers, and new suspension to make it hook up nicely - 50-50 shocks in front 80-20s in the rear.

Next step: ditch the GT-40 heads and get some AFR 185's

Can anyone suggest a brand of underdrive pulleys. I imagine there all pretty close to the same... Still, I'm not sure...</P>


Thanks</P>
