    How much HP am I making?

    I just bought a 98 z28 with a lid with a K&N filter, Flowmaster exhaust, 160 degree thermostat, Hypertech tuning, SLP smooth intake bellow and a few other things. I was wondering how much HP this will make and what I should do next. I also want to buy some torqe thrust 2's for it so if anyone has any for sale let me know.

    With and Auto your prolly hitting less than 300, and You will get mixed results with an after market MAF, the stock one is good to 500hp

    A stall, LT's and a tune will really wake it up, Magnaflow is a much more free flowing cat-back then the flowmaster

    with the stuff in my sig. on my first pull i only made 304 h.p. i only got it up to 330 after the temp droped and i flipped up my air cleaner lid ( i did this cause the air temp @ 90 plus degrees wasnt fair for the sake of average temps in michigan) the hunt for h.p. isnt always as easy as we woudl like it to be even after a bunch of highpriced extras....

    i no the feeling to expect more from your car and not see it in numbers... but to me my car feels like 500 h.p. behind the wheel and too my ears!

    mine needs a dyno tune baddddd...

    You dont have to but its a good idea
    the hypertec prolly isnt tuned for headers ory etc. if your getting heads/cam or any other major mods its smart to save some money and get it tuned then

    Plus a dyno tune is much more precise than a hand held
