does anyone know how to get to plus 475 hp to on nothing but bolt ons?(excluding supercharger not enough money to buy one yet)

Well a cam isn't really a bolt on but you'll need a big one plus headers, intake, underdrive pulley, tune, and maybe ported heads depending on the cam you go with.

A supercharger would be cheaper.

Headers-$1000
Pulley-$300
Intake-$400
Hiflo cats-$300
Exhaust-$700
Tune-$500
Cam-$2500
Ported heads-

but it isn't cheap

This will get you about 460-470 wrhp and maybe 430 tq

A supercharger will run you about $7000 and get you more than that.

$2500 for a cam?

I agree 5 to 7k on a blower will make more than a bolton car+ cam. But you are goin a bit nuts on the price of parts.

My Cam kit + AFM Delete + LS3 conversion + Torque Converter + Under Drive Pulley + Tune + Labor is right at $2700

Cam ($1200ish) + install/tune ($1100) = $2300
Headers ($1000) + hi flow cat ($400) + install ($300) = $1700
Exhaust ($1400) + labor ($100) = $1500
intake ($300)

= $$5800 and this will get you to about 450ish RWHP

with NA / Bolt ons...the higher your HP/TQ gets the more it costs to get significantly less gains...so I can definately see bolt ons becoming alot more expenisve with less gains than a blower....

if ur talking straight number and power, blower is honestly the cheaper way to go in the long run, but then again, i personally like running NA over FI.....so to each his own....

14-1500 bucks yes. He already said 500 for a tune. Not everyone pays for labor.

Dunno why Im even arguing this. Other than he took the highest prices to compare it to a blower. When in the end the blower will be more power, but a cam can be done for ALOT less.

Fraxum · 08-18-2011, 10:37 PM

Cam is not bolt-on.

IMO maybe 475 at the crank is possible with bolt-ons, but not at the wheels where it counts.

REDXIIIDave · 08-19-2011, 05:04 AM

The OP never said if the 475hp was at the crank or at the wheels. At the crank, probably pretty easy. Headers, exhaust, cai, and tune.
