what im wanting to know is what power are sum of u guys making with basic N/A setups, with mild mods

im new to V8's and N/A

so im looking for a good way to setup this motor to get sum more power, before looking to a turbo, or maybe supercharged setup

cheers for any advice

matt

with correct fueling and stock internals,

what HP have u guys reliably run? (as in street driven)
(even with turbo setups)

but i wana try get sum N/A HP first before going for turbo setup

so you bored each cylinder 5 mm?

Yes, 5mm overbore. Too late for the stroker now, committed to this route. Rods / pistons are made, it's all being assembled.

would have raised the compression over 11.0:1

hmmm ... might give that a go ... 5 mm overbore and run 3.5 mm thick head gaskets to achieve 9.0:1

minor mods like this, what sort of power?
and also has sumbody had a stock VH45de powerd car on a dyno?

is 200+kw wheels easy to achieve with N/A motor?

send your cams to tighe

Not to mention timing change. Why do people think thick gaskets with boost are viable?

Discover the power of the button!

so i need a custom exhaust, i wana find a good size (for N/A at this stage)

i will turbo it (or supercharge) later on, but want to run N/A first, learn the car, get all the susp + breaks ready, and Certify the car so it is road legal

and im not in the USA by the way

cheers

p.s. anybody had a stock vh45 on the dyno? or a mildly modified one? exhaust, maybe cams?? sumbody!?!?!

Its called an aftermarket ecu and a set of adjustable cam gears if necessary

sumbody must have???

In a lighter car the cams are wrong..............anyway 330-337 gross lb/ft [JWT ecu] is quite decent for a 4.494 liter even today. The brand new designs can't make that much.......because they are tuned for the HP race numbers for marketing confusion.

The exhaust manifolds are quite good compared to any factory supplied units..........even exotics.

The problems are that the engine was tuned [cams/runner lengths-diameters to plenum] to produce peak torque at 4,000 rpm.........vvt shifts at 4600 rpm............keeping a 4300 pound car with fuel and driver and AC on smooth up a hill with a 2000 rpm @60 mph requires some low rpm bias as the load could be 5,000 pounds with fat excecutives and their luggage from airport.

The driver was expected to act as body guard so some heft was required to fill the job.

i may have to change EX manifold to make it fit

if i do i will probably go straight to turbo, so probably another 2-3months of work,

but hopefuly it will fit, and be NA for ahwile

i want well in excess of 300RW KW

so i think turbo wud be a good way to go

sumbody must have been on one!!!
