Angry 96-98 Mod motor HP

Ok I finally got my car on a dyno this past weekend at Rockingham for the Spring Civil War shoot out.

I thought my numbers would be a little higher.

190 RWHP 260 FPTW

I know that 215 is stock at the flywheel. Not sure about torque though. Need some input for some more gains. Heads right now cost a little high for me now. I'm also working a 65 coupe so most money is going into that one.

They do seem a little low, i think you should at least be getting around 210 RWHP.

My first advice is to cleanup your sensors, moslty the MAF (remove sensor and clean the sensor wires with a Qtip with rubbing alcohol).
Make sure plugs are OK and gapped correctly.

Those cars make between 180 and 190 at the rear wheels stock so your power isn't off by too much. How many miles are on the car? If you've got a lot of miles, you're not going to make as much power.

96-98s aren't notorious for making power.

just use what you've got. I went 14.45 @ 96.6 with stock 2.73s on street tires with my old setup. I guarantee I wasn't making anymore than 195 or so rwhp.

with 4.10s and drag radials you could run low 14s or high 13s.

save for the headswap, its well worth it.

Just got a best of 14.41 at the track yesterday, I guess heads is the way to go. I did see a stock 2003 cobra do a 12.48 there, must be nice

I think you are making more rwhp than that dyno is showing. That is too good of a 1/4 time for just 190 rwhp. More like 210 rwhp.

airbone, what was your trap speed?

monkey boy, he could do that with 190rwhp. i've seen guys go high 13s with 190 or so rwhp. its all about gear and tire.

My 98 made 202 RWHP stock. Except I had offroad exhaust and flowmasters.

The PI swap is the best thing for 96-98.
