Current set-up is:
347
S-trim with 3.12 pulley
ported TW heads
Edelbrock Perf intake
42# inj
TFS stsge 1 cam
C&L 76mm maf (in engine bay with a heat shield around it)
70mm TB
dyno-tuned autologic chip (old tune for old Powerdyne blower that was on there - 412rwhp SAE back then, car picked up 4-6mph in the 1/4 with the Vortech)
THe car is in the shop getting the Lentech AOD rebuilt.
The car runs perfectly, but a bit rich, I know there is more power to be had with a new tune.
Here is the question:
I have 2 options -
Do i swap out the C&L for a pro-m maf and do a 4" powerpipe and get a new tune - obviously the powerpipe will add some power and maybe the Pro-M also. Am I risking my current perfect driveability and idle by swapping to a pro-m and powerpipe???
OR
Do I just leave the car as is, C&L (heat shield) with stock Vortech 3&1/2" flex tube and leave a little bit of rwhp on the table. The C&L will not work with a powerpipe, I have tried it twice.
The car as is has run a 11.8@122+ with no traction (1.99 60') on old worn out Nitto DRs - on the street it beat a 11.0-11.2 Vette (h/c/125 shot) by a car length from a dig in this trim.
It now wears sticky BFG DRs which should shave the 60' time to at least 1.8 making solid low 11s at the track easy, with a leaned out tune high 10s to low 11s should be possible on DRs.
Any advice, opinions, or suggestions would be appreciated.
