[quote=Powell;2362905]FWIW I made 657rwhp with stock intercoolers and stock headers. There is a choke point yes, but where it is... is not really known.

If I remember correctly Scott's (Divexxtreme) used a modified stock header..


Thanks thats's good information. Pretty much what Tony told me.

I will post up the results of my Tial 3071 upgrade in the next few weeks.

People need to think long and hard about what their goals are and all the things necessary to get there before getting started and getting in over their head.

In life in general, and w/ modified cars especially people tend to only think about what they want "I want an 800 hp Porsche" and not all the things it takes to get there. To the OP, I would suggest talking to Todd about what he went through to get his project finished (of course I spent about 3 hours on the phone w/ him through the process). For those wanting a really big power car. talk to Mark, Scott, Joe or Rob. True a LOT of big checks are involved, but aso a lot of heartache.
There you go again speaking about things you do not know. My project is not an example of the type you speak of. It is not a "buy a nice stock Porsche and start modding things".... it was/is a frame up build basically replacing or improving everything on the car. The complete turnkey, dyno-run, and street-driven Procharged motor was bought 2 years ago! The upgrades and changes to the project since then have been cosmetic and optional, nothing a necessity to deal with the 800hp motor. Everyone goes over budget, especially when building a car from ground up with a shell. Your comparison here is ridiculous.

I am sorry this is off topic but I won't let you talk about my project like that when you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. You make for an easy target so often Mr Jitsu......

You don't have to tell me about heartache/headache as I am 2+ years into my project. Camaro, Porsche, whatever.... when you really get deep into a car there is inevitably big checks and more time involved than expected....

Only reason why I have aftermarket is due to the fact I wanted external wastegates and didn't want to fool around with having to possibly messup a weld and ruin a stock set of headers.

Intercoolers on the other hand are a decent upgrade depending on what type of environment you live in. Here in Texas we get a good amount of heatsoak due to our ever so ****ty weather. Up north you may not have to deal with it as much. You will not see any real hp gains on a dyno with new intercoolers, but if you did back to back to back to back etc.. dynos you would see the difference (you would not be losing power).
Exactly. This is why one does not NEED ICs and headers at the levels we are discussing. Do they help? Sure, maybe, probably. But does one need them? Of course not. I think some certain Texans forget that not everyone lives in Texas.
