Took my 05 Commemorative to the dyno yesterday afternoon. Car (for now) is bone stock and my results were 430 rwhp/475rwtq. Is this about average? I have Corsa Track, RT cats, flywheel, 3.55 gears, K&N, and underdrive crank pulley in garage waiting to be installed.
After install of these parts, I'm thinking I should get an additional 30 - 40 rwhp. Does this sound right? I believe headers only give an additional 10-15 so that seems like a 'bad bang for the buck' and I will spend the money elsewhere. With a good tune (split second, dastech or Vec 2) can I pick up an additional 30-40 more? Or bottomline, is it possible to reach 500 rwhp w/o heads, cam or S/C?
I'm thinking that my next mod will be a good tune, rollbar and Motons/KW's. After that I'll have to weigh my choices. Paxton seems like the best hp for the buck but still not cheap and N/A is big bucks for about half the additional power. So what do you guys think?
