    Default Rwhp?

    Obviously I haven't had my car on a Dyno ( or I wouldn't ask this ?)..... I'm guessing my car is anywhere from 291-298 rwhp stock (thats what i've seen in most stock G8's). You can see my mods below... CAI/Catback/Tune. Where do you "Pros" think i'm at? I know it's not an exact science... just trying to place my hp/tq in a round about way. I mostly want to give the rookie asking for my hp/tq some #s. For the novice....(at the Crank), so they can understand. Thanks for the intrest gentlemen & ladies. Secondly.... besides a cam or long tubes... what mod would you recommend?
    Thanx-

    Skip the shorties. Get the pulley. If you do pulley with your mod list and coming soon, 335-340 RWHP or right around 400 at the crank

    Thanks Charlie...... reading some "other board" posts, ie Dr. Dana Miller....etc, I'm seeing some disapointment with the shorty header setup. So pulley, huh? Its good for 5 hp or so? I look into it, thx!

    I would say a pulley would help as well, what are your ultimate goals with the car? The reason I ask is if you plan on doing a supercharger later you might want to skip the underdrive balancer...
