... to the wheels - what were they & who did it?

The highest I've seen is the 230/237 in Tourige's sig... assuming his was N/A.
 
Mine is 216.70hp and 198.39tq At The Wheels with a base tune and 11.5:1 A/F. Oval Port with SVT cams, 3L UIM, WR Header and Y-pipe with a CTA Exhaust, 42lb injectors. I plan to bump the A/F upto 13.5:1 and install my NPG CAI. Taht is of course if I decide not to install the turbo kit.

Touriges numbers were with the nitrous I believe (cool dyno video of it).

I believe that was with nitrous. Some consider that a form of FI (I don't).

EDIT: Didn't read all of SVT SNOB's post.

Starjammir's car put down 220/200. I'm hoping for somewhere north of 210/200 when I go to the dyno (hopefully tomorrow). My receipt book has a dyno sheet from before the car was tuned that showed 196/221 or so.
 
Tourige was not true N/A.

Timeless420 did 237whp/219wtq on his 3.0L.

DavidZ did 240 whp untuned right out of the gates. He never did get it tuned before he sold it.
 
Nitrous definitely puts it in a different category.

Damn nice numbers. Where are these guys now & what did they have that put them so much higher than everyone else?

Timeless420's 3.0L was mainly contributed to his custom high compression pistons. I can't recall off the top of my head how high they were. I do know he had overheating issues. Not sure if he ever got it fixed. I think he has since sold the car.

DavidZ had some prototype cams that he scored from Roush IIRC. He sold his probably 5+ years ago.

Evan's (Timeless420) had a 12:1 CR I believe and that car was awesome. His car was dyno'd by Steeda Performance in Milton.

DavidZ had some BTCC Spec cams that were made by Piper from what I heard. I had a sound clip of his car and it sounded mean as hell.

blackcoog did 225/? trq with his N/A 3L

i did 205 untuned lol

the highest would probably be the guys with the first 7 contour SVT's built claiming in the 260's WHP...

warmonger did 217 HP with his hybrid, probably the highest a hybrid did

Your 205 was a great untuned number :).

Starjammirs Hybrid did 220/200 as mentioned earlier.

On the aggressive tune, I did 206/196 with the car you now own. Should be relatively similar, unless you've done any other mods, or the dynos don't read the same(as if that would ever happen.) :laugh:

Well, since I've owned it, I've put on the sho-shop y-pipe with a super hi-flow cat, CAI (won't do anything on the dyno, I know), and I cleaned up the air filter, MAF, etc. I found out today that my new IMRC is mad at me AGAIN (P1518- IMRC stuck open :mad:), but it has been pulling HARD lately. It ran an 8.80 in the 1/8th mile earlier today at the temporary drag strip next to my apartment, and that was with wet pavement and two people in the car.
 
sweet. now i know everyone says nitrous is considered forced induction.... but i still think every N/A built car should have a shot of spray to keep the boosted guys ego's in check.

my 2.5L with164k on it only made 170 WHP but i had a nice 100 shot to back it up in cases of ego-boost (lol)

i made a best of 285/318 WHP with the nitrous, before it went boom. i ran it for three summers with the nitrous, it always ran great except for the last time i used nitrous lol.... if i ever break 240 whp N/A i'll add a 100 shot and make it 340... lol.
