Hey guys, I wish I could just fit a turbo setup into my chevette - seems like it would be so much more fun.. But as of now I am poor. I wanted to eventually go to forced induction on my 4.1L via p1sc procharger only because of the space restriction in my engine compartment dont really allow for a turbo setup.
Problem is, I won't be able to afford a supercharger for another couple years 'til i get out of college and pay off some debt. In the meantime I want to crank out as much HP as possible from the V6. Currently I have somewhere around 180hp at the wheels with the following setup:
-.040 over Hypers (maybe 8:1 compression?)
-50% race balance
-high volume oil pump
-Iskendarian 270H camshaft
-Stock unported iron heads
-Hooker Headers (2.5" collector)
-restrictive 2" into y pipe exhaust
-Weiand X-Celerator intake manifold
-Edelbrock 500cfm carb(stock jets)
-Holley Cheater nitrous plate
I really want the motor to pull all the way through to 6000rpm if possible, but I guess I'm going to lose alot of low end since it's NA. Right now Ive been shifting at 5000 because Im afraid of what the valvetrain can handle - not to mention it doesnt feel like it has much power that high.
What numbers do you think are possible and what mods do I still need to invest in?
