Bolt-on War 2006! Concept

[TylerDurden28]

This is just an idea i got from the Horsepower War thread but i was thinkin about this and it could be a good idea, it would start May 2006 and end on the last day of August 2006, here is the concept...

Take 3-5 people, LS1 or LT1 thats stock or has a couple of minor mods.

Instead of doing internal work like heads, cam, lifters, ect...do only bolt on mods that include, intake manifold, headers, intake, exhaust, pullys, programmer, ect.

Start off with a base dyno like before and then do a after.

Myself this upcoming summer plan on adding LS6 intake manifold, headers, hi flo cats, y pipe, k&n filter, lifted intake box, plugs and wires. So to make it fun if a couple of guys or girls on this site would like to be in as well I will start to come up with a list of possible people as well as see what setup provides best in bolt on aftermarket parts. Anybody who would be interested in doing this kind of war for the summer let me know. I think it will be fun, as well as provide a bunch of information for beginners with F-bodys and what simple mods can do to bump up the HP of their cars.

If a mod can make this a sticky it would be great so people will see at the top of the forum section.

Any takers?

i would but i plan on doing more than bolt ons.

[TylerDurden28]

I would too, but im limited to money and a head and cam package is kinda expensive while you could get bolt ons one at a time.

I remember the test in GM high tech where they ran LT1's vs LS1's.

Both are good motors, but you have to look at the techology advantage of the LS1. It is underrated, so that means an auto/stick LS1 car will easily beat any LT1 car, including the SS model. With mods you are always gonna be behind with an Lt1 car.

Its not about how much HP you get out of the engine and who is faster but, what the setup with the mods and the gains in HP that you get.

There are already plans for a HP War Part II and III next year....we are just waiting to start in a few months...

See ya on the road,

I don't know how much hp i gained, i haven't dynoed after mods, but i gained 1.5 seconds and 9 mph in the 1/4. Does that count for something?

would an expected 383 turbocharged 800hp beast be eligable? ..

yup.. last month i made a whole bunch of posts gathering information for it and have most of it already planned out and parts lists made
Im going to give my best effort to be done with it so i can be driving a 700+hp car to bowling green next year (hoping for at least 800 though)

I thought i would add this i am planning maybe not that soon but if everything goes well a whole new ls1 (heads, cam, tuning), and new 6 speed transmission, and a new strange 12 bolt with 4.10's will let you know it should start here somewhere in the next two years

What I need is a war over a couple of years! I don't have major mod money, but I do have a fair start on my list... Just waiting on money for my LT/ORY/trans cooler and I'm gonna have a decent little matchbox car on my hands!!!

I'll try and get some of the Ported T/b #'s and Headers #'s before I do the cam then, just for ****************s for this thread. I was gonna do the cam with the headers but for #'s sake I'll do them seperate. I'll do the mods before and after I tune them Hp Tuners then also.
