I need about 25 more RWHP. I can spend $1,000. Any suggestions?

[ACR Joe]

Did the header/exhaust thing and removed the rain baffle from the airbox. I want a touch more on motor.

Not interested in shorter gears (for SOTP feel), or an underdrive pulley (gotta keep the ladies cool), or nitrous, or, even if I willing to spend the money, turbocharging or supercharging.

I would think that an ECM mod would do the trick but no seems to offer a performance reflash. 5% should be a breeze.

I just want a bit more power! Anyone have before and after dyno curves on the Roe Calibrator?

Any other suggestions? Something fun and rewarding. Like a rainy Sunday PM project.

Maybe try a set of T&D roller rockers? You seem to have the exhaust for it. I would think it would help your engine breathe better too.

Joe,

I am not sure if you will be able to achieve this for 1k but these items should get the 25 hp more you desire or very close to it.

1)ROE calibrator(should be good for about 10-15
2)Rockers with #1 should be good for another 10
3)25% Underdrive pulley. Although not really tested extensively on Vipers gain about 10hp at the wheels on Camaros/Mustangs/etc. This will not affect the car at all, so you can keep your ladies cool.

Joe-
Call me at the shop tomorrow. Perhaps I can help you reach your goals. If you are interested in true hp (as you indicate) as opposed to SOTP, your options are limited, but you may be able to hit your target.

Hope to hear from you.
