Subject: Re: How much HP will I get by porting intake? by BeachBum on 2008/11/20 17:29:16 In my opinion, the best modification for a C4 if your just looking to spend a little, but see a real performance gain is a torque converter. With your stock C4 TPI set-up, a little 12" 2500 rpm converter would work great.... they can be had for $ 300 or less depending on where you get it. If you're content on doing an engine modifications one at a time, I always advise to start from the middle and work your way out. Thus, if you're staying with your original shortblock, then slap in an aftermarket hyd roller cam..... I recommend the LPE 211 for your application..... its designed to compliment your long tube runner tpi set-up. You'll need new springs too. In the future, as you can afford it, you can upgrade the cylinder heads, intake, exhaust etc.... and not have to take them off again. It would be ideal if while you have your aluminum cylinder heads off the car you could have a some light port work with a valve job..... (perhaps around $ 700-800).... with the cam and light port work, you could see a real 50+ HP gain even with the stock exhaust. good luck ! |
