how much horsepower will i be making with the HO conversion, plus ported E7TE heads with 1.6 roller rockers, 65mmtb, bbk shorties with 2.75 true dual exhaust, and a edelbrock performer intake manifold.
i just need a rough estimation how much horsepower i will be making.

6,935,543,634,543 rwhp. But that's conservative.

I would say 250 at the crank... Maybe 260 depending on how 'ported' the heads are.

haha ok, thanks! well, the heads are fully ported and im going to have the edelbrock performer intake manifold fully ported too..
so with those things fully ported, do you think i'll have 280hp at the engine?

numbers are only important for tuning, other than that are only good for gauging the size of your e-pen 15.

its all in how the car performs in real life man. dont get all hung up on numbers. most of the guys out there either lie or have a poor idea of how much they think they have cause they add advertised hp numbers off of freaking mag adds.....

i think David is real close. i wouldnt be dissapionted nor expect more.

edit:
if you are currently rolling around with the stock SO and you drop that in the car, as specially with some gears the car is going to be, er, quite different!

Your "2.75" dual exhaust is too big...your car will be a bit lazy below 2500rpm...don't go bigger than 2.5". I agree, caring about how much "power" you'll be making is useless...I could probably run faster than you with 20 less horsepower. Power numbers are worthless.

"How fast you go, has no bearing on your style"

what kinda porting on the heads? bigger valves? eather way, with that combo you will be extreamly happy. when i did my HO t-5 swap i almost creamed my panties lol. its a major difference with it, in fact after i swapped the stuff i did bigger brakes because i drove like an asshole and couldnt stop quick enough lol.

All this talk of e-pen 15es, and creamed-in-panties makes me think this may at least deserve a PG-13 rating, if not a NSFW..

that ones fu@kin great:giggle:

so since just about everyone on this board wants me to run my car at the track to see just how fast it is..

so you mean if i did run my car at the track and it did turn a mid to high 11's or at least 116+MPH in the QTR my e-pen 15 would get bigger then it is allready is?:D damm i better get to the track then :flip: or i can do what i allways do and just let the person take my car for a spin.. a spin even that sounds funny to me since thats what my car wants to do most of the time when you smash the gas..:D oops

there goes my e-pen 15 again..it allmost busted my laptop

oh and since a 5.0HO makes a true 195-205HP@the wheels i say 225-235HP@the wheels
