Maybe over a stock exhaust but I think it would be closer to maybe 20hp. My gto had 3 inch dual exhaust with no cats and slp bullet mufflers so it wasn't restricted at all.

I don't really race it so I'm not sure it's worth the money. The friggin Kleemann headers,pulley tune and install was enough.

e55amgrocket

It gets expensive quick. I figured if i was pulling the heads then i was putting ported heads back on and all the little things that i could also.

$2900 for the ported heads,valve job,re-surface heads,new seals and all the labor
$900 in MB parts(gaskets,mounts,bolts,new inlet and ported/welded to mount 82mm tb
$1500 VRP/PTE cams used
$1200 headers w/high temp coating
$100 oil/filter
$200 powder coated textured valve covers
$1200 SS tig welded custom exhaust
$500 SS tig welded custom intake i'm having made
$350 Euro charged mufflers
$XXX Tuning cost when Jerry tunes it
Theres a lot of little things im forgetting right now im sure but several of the above things weren't needed but i felt if i was doing it i wanted everything done now not wishing i did this or that.
Ahmad helping put this car together............PRICELESS!!!!!!!

That's crazy! But like I tell my wife, this is my hobby but you guys are in way deeper then I am. I can't wait to show her you list so she won't think I'm so crazy anymore.

Yea im not showing mine this thread. Its cost me twice this in giving her shopping money i swear. Ive got 2 kids and our 3rd on the way so i told her i needed to get this out of the way lol. Next is putting a twin 76mm LSX into my 94 mustang GT but she's not going to know about that for awhile.

emoving

Wow, I thought hiding the true cost of the kleemann install was hard! LOL, a new engine in another car, she would be on me like white on rice! Good luck! Wish I could drive out to watch you guys. Half thought of staying with Clayton or BK but I think the drive from cbus is longer then I thought.

40whp??? I seriously doubt that.
Happy to help! Can't wait to see this thing rip!!!
You don't want to fly in? Some of the BMW guys have flown in from Cali in the past

AKnight55

Chawkins dynoed 10-15 rwhp more with (cutouts) open headers.

e55amgrocket

I'm going to look into it some. I dont know if supercharged cars might like it more or not. I know from my own experience it didnt help in the past. Just sounded good but was there a torque trade off the that power and where did it make it at?

AKnight55

Im pretty sure he gained some torque as well.. Im sure he will chime in with some numbers if he sees this thread.

emoving

Hmmm, that's a good idea. What is a close airport near Clayton? I suppose I could rent a car real quick. Give me an airport name and I will look into it.

DCA (Ronald Reagan Airport)

emoving

Just got off the phone with Andy, I am gonna ride over with him. Unless his SL is not done in time. Thanks for the airport info. I always find the track stuff cool since I am completely clueless. Plus I admire the fact you guys rent a track as opposed to street race.

blackbenzz

Well that wouldmake sense if its prior to secondary cats. Its like deleting them
Cool!

Threads like these make me want to just pull out my credit card and spend spend spend

e55amgrocket

If you cant pay for it now don't use a credit card. I've got so many friends that have paid $10k on $5k worth of parts because they can't pay the card off and keep paying interest on the account.

BlackTTC6

I just use the CC to buy parts because the fiance doesn't know about it so she can't give me **** about it

Just some teaser pics

Looking forward to the results. I know it's going to be a killer when it's all together.

M - where did you get your powdercoating done and where are the pics of the HRE's?

novae500

Dropped off rims Monday takes about two weeks. Hope to debut them at Mir. Place in md, I'll pm you the place don't want to advertise a non paying vendor

e55amgrocket

Are you going to make some runs this time?

novae500

I want to, but waiting for my EC HE and bosch pump. Have a feeling i have a bad pump based on some mexico runs over the weekend:-) Def will be there to see you break into the 10s and others as well???
