Guessing the RWHP on Mods for GEN1 1994

[Lexciting]

Hi All!

I have my 1994 in the shop at Tator's finishing an engine refresh (76,000 miles and wanted to stay N/A) and a year apart from her; and just waiting on a tune. Couldn't find any threads with a compression of 9.3:1 on gen1 to compare. As with all projects: blown budget and longer than expected time in the shop but almost done. (hopefully) Wanted to get some guestimates on potential RWHP with the following mods:

9.3:1 Compression (bump from stock 9.0:1)
Comp Cam
Port/Polish Heads
Belanger Headers
3" Roe Racing Exhaust
Catless
AB Plug Wires
180 Degree Thermo
K&N Filters
Smooth Tubes
Gen1 Injectors (cleaned/serviced)
Harland 1.7 RR
VEC2

Thanks!

Bone Stock gen one injectors will only support about 450-470 rwhp in my experience.

 

[mrbob]

have to agree with 96 . gen #2 injectors are a cheap upgrade and will complement your mods . also cometic .027 head gaskets

I Think you should be at around 500 Rwhp with these mods

I`am at 430 Rwhp with these mods wih my 94 :

VEC2 ,
1,7" Harland Sharp Roller Rockes
3" Belanger Headers
3" RoeRacing Cats+Mufflers
GEN2 Throttle Bodys
Smooth-Tubes+K&N Filter
GEN2 Injectors
Polished Air Intake
70 mm Air Box Outlet

Stock Compression on GEN1 cars is Just about 8,6 :1

Thanks for the input! Hopefully I'll crack 500rwhp. I am definitely going to follow the break-in steps for the rebuilt engine to get the most out of it. I'll post the dyno once it is done.

You will need to go with a set of Gen 2 injectors. Check your ***.

You will likely hit 500 RWHP if your heads are ported by a real pro (like Greg Good, striker etc) and you are running a healthy fast acting comp cam.

Bob is right about the head gaskets.

You will need the bigger gen 2 injectors and a tune, I can supply both. We get 500rwhp with the following:

High flow air filters
Smooth tubes
Ported Throttle bodies (step removed)
Gen 2 injectors
SBEC Calibration
Ported heads/ Milled for 9.8 to 1 compression
1.7 Rockers
708 cam (117 Centerline)
Belanger Headers
High flow cats
Magnaflow mufflers

Hope this helps.
