And if those listed mods are the only ones done to the engine, then I'm calling BS on the claimed horsepower numbers - more realistic would be around 325-350 at the wheels.
PS - the intercooler pictured is a B&B - I've never heard of an "SS" intercooler.
The funny thing about the gearbox update is that when you add a little power, you're right back to having a 4 speed box as first gear becomes more or less unusable (so I've been told - don't know from personal experience). |
I think you are close with the rwhp estimate with those mods listed. 400 is @ the crank. the 89 may not be too bad a deal. a bit cobbled together it would seem w/ the box rocker conversion...btw, not a good look.
