How much whp can I get for 2k?
 
My car doesn't have any performance mods yet.

I am looking to get more power. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Trying to keep it under 2k. :burnrubber:

Thanks in advance! :cheers:

I should have said that I have a nameless axleback exhaust.

But I have to say I am not familiar with engineback exhausts. What kind of gain would it give?

Everything in that diagram is basically what an Engineback exhaust would be, Many of the guys here report smooth power delivery and about 25-30 more horsepower with that setup, I'm no expert though just giving a suggestion :clap:

Oh ok, clearly I'm a noob lol.

Well thanks for the suggestion man. I really appreciate it

:thumbsup:

All of those exhaust goods at most would yield half of what's claimed "maybe", strong maybe. A tune as well with, would be only way to achieve those numbers, "possibly".

you could cheat some horsepower by changing the rear diff gears to something higher 5.1 is the highest id go, you could do the ford 8.8 conversion with rear gear change

ZDan 11-08-2013 08:20 AM

Changing gearing does not add horsepower. It's a one-trick mod, good for maybe a couple of tenths in acceleration times from zero or very low-speed roll, but you will lose acceleration in some speed ranges too due to having to upshift sooner. Highly overrated mod for most people's actual usage.

Get a freaking electric supercharger and a exhaust manifold and you'll get like 225whphttp://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39719

Do you have access to E-85? If so, I would go with a tune and run 85 while you save up for a turbo/supercharger.

Wait for the release of the Phantom Electric Super Charger. You'll gain 60-80 ft-lbs of torque right in the "valley of death" or torque dip. There are very good gains in HP too (right around the 200 mark). It installs in little time (less then an hour) and is completely reversible. The ESC, batteries and a tune will be right around the $2,000 mark.

The closest station is 20 miles away.

Although there are some closer but they are service stations on the local highway.

Do you know how much gain would I get with just the e85 tune?

That electric super charger looks good. How reliable is it!

I just looked at some dynos of someone who installed it.

Do you know when it will be released?

:thumbsup:

I do not know the exact release date, but my guess would be "soon". There are 8 beta testers right now and I'm not aware of a single issue. I love mine. It has completely transformed the power delivery...and my enjoyment...of the car.

I'd hold on to your $2,000 until its released.

Thank you sir!

I'm going to wait for it to be released. Can't wait :thumbsup:
