No.

 

you could easily see 30 from camming a turbo f22.


you would probably see 10 or 15 more at the new peak on a n/a motor though. depending on the grind there might be a couple areas under the curve where the gain is like 20 or 22

 

30+ hp off of cams = race cams and the stock ecu will crap out on those, and it wont be street legal due to there being no way it will pass emitions

 

haha thats about what i figured, dumb question, but do you guys think i could gain 50 hp between a cold air intake, headers, straight through exhaust (with a thrush magnum & no cat), and a cam? thanks guys, your a great help!

I think you could make 50whp with those mods. Maybe a little bit under 50, perhaps slightly above, but I'd think 50 is certainly an attainable number. Just a guess.

 

No.

Running without a cat is just ignorant and one of the biggest reasons that laws are being changed so people cannot modify their cars.....

you are not going to get 50 more hp with those mods unless you change the head to a h22/23 head as well.

 

i live in hicktown where everyone either drives somethin with a 318, 350, 360, 454, or etc... and most of them have no cat, echeck is virtually nonexistant around here.

I live in a hick town too.... and we have no emissions laws *LOL* My uncle has an old SS Camaro with dual 3.5" straight exhaust coming directly off the headers... and a blower...

 

So, you are going to justify doing something illegal because someone else has a car with no cat or a truck with no cat? Different year cars and trucks are subject to different laws that were in effect at the time of manufacture.

Cats were not required on cars until late 70's anything before that did not require a cat. Remocving a cat from a car that requires it is illegal.
