real HP

[TheMaddog]

Well, i'm trying to make my truck a wee bit faster, how much HP would I get from:

longtubes
vararam
87 mm tb
complete 3 inch exhaust
srt max cam
torque converter
4:10 gears
and superchip flashpaq

i'd like to get it as high as possible, with natural aspiration, no bottle feeding or anything.

 

[BlkRamRt]

my guess would be 80hp +/-

 

[TheMaddog]

really?! i was hoping for at least 100.

Ditch the 4.10 idea and go for 4.56, you wont regret it. it does make wet condition driving a bit sketchy though haha.

well, where i live, it's wet just about everywhere. and i'm also not wanting to lose any MPG's, she's a dd but i want her to be fast.

might be more just my guess...but it would be awsome to have the extra 100

yeah, my buddy has probably the greatest sleeper of all time, a 1990 caprice ss with a 502 big block in it cammed and soon to be bottle fed, and i'm just wanting a bit of that sweet taste.

 

[BlkRamRt]

nice....i think most of us like that sweet taste...but any hp is welcomed any time.

 

[TheMaddog]

for sure!!!!

i'm just wanting something that'll scare the **** out of my parents, and what way to do it than to get an extra 100 hp lol

 

[05singlecabHEMI]

My parents refuse to drive my truck... even with the simple mods I've done. Says it scares them toz drive it. Don't know why they think its dangerous.

I suggest a Spartan cam and a Diablo tuner. You won't be able to run either cam with superchips. Your going to need custom tuning. There was a thread about the srt max cam not being a good cam for QC trucks unless you have 4.56's and a very high stall. I've talked to Stu at Inertia and he recommended the Spartan and a 2800 stall. I have the stall now just to save up for the cam swap.

 

[TheMaddog]

i'm hoping for that. the goal is to get to 425 or 450hp

 

[ATXHEMI]

Add a set of p&p heads or even big valve heads to add more hp.

 

[TheMaddog]

i'm looking at those as we speak lol.

this is why i'm poor. lol

i'll try to get these later on down the road, i don't have 5 grand quite yet, but i'm looking for as much bang for my buck.

 

[truckin151]

look at all the mods in my Sig...... then look at the rwhp.... that should give you an idea of where you'll be. If you want to be in the 450 range, look at fi setups, forged internals, New trans, stroker kit, etc.

 

[TheMaddog]

new tranny?! daaaaannnng. but my buddy with the caprice has done all of his work himself, and said he'd do the labor for a "discounted price".

 

[ST-8]

Welcome to world of modding a dodge ram buddy.

 

[TheMaddog]

i'm actually not new, it's just that i would have thought my tranny could've taken the abuse.

 

[Davy120]

You are sadly mistaken...you should know as well as anyone dodge trannys are ****....lol

[TheMaddog]
