Default LQ4 potential!!!!!N.A.!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys,


Building LQ4 got basic mods. include Cylinder Heads from West Coast Cylinder Heads (richard) my heads made huge difference top end power!
wondering what LQ4 potential is without changing it to internal nor FI
i'm assuming i can get around 400 AWHP N.A.
eventually i'll go whipple with custom intercooler air to air !!!!! to go over 500 AWHP
can't find good deal on whipple~


Anybody know good AWD dyno in New Jersey AREA?????

still missing efan, pulleys, better intake manifold (thinking F.A.S.T) should get me good 50HP out from those mods.

I'm open to ideas and other good mods that i'm missing!!

400HP shouldnt be a problem at all n/a. especially with a fat cam and nice heads. check out the vic jr intake for a better intake.

Intake is a must have getting past the 380 mark is where your gonna need the right setup not just throwing parts at it.

You will need a larger cam than the LS6, a 218-224 will work well with a 2800ish stall.

Was going to, but i couldn't because comp cam ground it wrong. it's long story~
I know i can get about 20HP from changing cam again, but i rather not touch internal again.
i'm going to get GM efan, long tube headers, no cats, with magnaflow 12" straight muffler front of my corsa exhaust to get raspy sound out. with new intake manifold F.A.S.T and #44 injectors.

should get me more Power!!!!
