I was wondering which intake would give better HP... the fenderwell intake, or a normal airbox hooked up to a ram air hood? Also, about how much HP would i expect from say a fenderwell intake, reprogrammed chip, headers, hi flow cat, and cat-back borla exhaust? does anyone have any ballpark figures?

GTP or GT

FWI or CAI will give you the same I'd say. I have a CAI because in Texas when it rains the roads flood easy, and my car is lowered so that puts a FWI setup even closer to water.

i have a GT

You'll be fine with the FWI....
I run a FWI and get temps 5 above outside temps

sweet texas, whereabouts ripin?

Fort Worth

Down off Hulen

almost bought a used 02 tahoe there at hillard ford, but i'm near texas stadium, maybe we can run them some time

Are you part of the North Texas Club GP

signed for it a week ago but nothing there, but i'm at clubgp, 18910, guess i'll shoot that one again

Are u on the mailing list for NTGPC??

Thats how most of the info on shows/races and everything else is shared.

hey sorry to cut in here but answering tomekeuro85 question on hp gains. i have the fwi, Random Tech pipe with hi-flow cat and borla cat back. i'd say i got about 15-20 hp after this setup was installed. i'd hold off on computer and go with a cam first, that's if it ain't to much trouble.

akwe-gt.. was it a noticable power increase.. could you feel it when you accelerate normally??

yeah, i noticed it through the entire rpm range, but i don't no what normal acceleration is anymore.

im not exactly the best at engines... i know what a cam does, but what exactly does getting a new cam do? does it rev faster or something??

A cam w/ a different grind will give you increased lift/and duration. Basically letting the motor get more air into and out.

My TEP cam has a lift of 566 which is alot of lift. It alows me to run faster then headers/intercooler cars w/ stock cam

with a more aggresive cam your also going to have to get stronger springs because of the increased lift and to prevent valve float. if looking for faster revs your looking to balance the engine and even balance the entire valve train.

The cam alllow you to push more air/fuel mix into the cylinders so more of that in the same space gives you more punch. I think that you should get a PCM with the CAM so it can handle all the other engine components taking into conisderation the bigger lift and intake duration and if you go to http://www.intense-racing.com you will find explanation why CAI is a little less restrictive than FWI.

I am curious. Doesn't the stock exhaust on these GTP Grand Prixs provide good breathing w/o modifications? I'm interested in getting an aftermarket cam. But I don't run high speeds, just what the law will allow. But wouldn't a cam help out with low end torque from the start also?

I f you are getting a cam you really should get rid of your ubend and think about larger pipes so you can get more air out of your engine. I don't think the stock exhaust would allow you to see all of the potential gains even from a mild cam.

I don't even have a cam(1.9Ratio Rockers instead) and I needed to open my exhaust up somewhat to really feel the rockers.
