HP after these mods...

[FlipTrac_511]

Realistically, how many horses am I adding with the following mods:



1. Volant cold air intake

2. Flowmaster 40 exhaust

3. Zabtek TB

4. XCal2 87 oct tune (per above mods)



I have an 04, 2WD, 4.10 LS



Thanks!

Stock about 175 or so rear wheel.... After those mods maybe 185 or so rear wheel..you could get more with a 93 tune, but that is what I have seen from most dyno days...

Thanks Todd. Out of curiousity, that equals to what, at the crank?

 

[Bill Barber]

Devide the RWHP by .85, thats a good ballpark figure, crank, about 218 ish

 

[FlipTrac_511]

Thanks Bill.



Todd, come next year I'll be getting a TB from you, so if you could set aside a nice low-mileage one for me that'd be cool.



After all is said and done, I'd have spent about $80 per hp increase. Uhh...what?



One day, I will buy a second car...probably a new Mustang, that'll squash all this acceleration and handling envy I have pent up.



I won't give up the Trac!

H.P ain't cheap, my baseline was 168 RW

After Intake, exhaust, E-fan, Excalibrator, UD pulley, pro m maf,Todds T.b., Y-pipe

Am at 209 RW, would I do it again? NO

I actually enjoy modding my vehicles. It's just fun! I'm not messing with much else though. A TB and the Xcal3 and thats it.



I wanted to buy the TB and the programmer at the same time but I don't think funds will allow!



It shouldn't be a problem buying the programmer and then installed the TB a little while later right?



Should I do it the other way around just to make sure that I've got the most out of the programmer with the TB taken into account?

 

[FlipTrac_511]

Bill, that's 245 HP at the crank. Those are good, in fact, awesome numbers especially compared to current Frontiers and Tacomas.



I'm not gonna do the E-fan, but with those numbers I just might consider aftermarket maf and pipes in addition to my list above.

 

[Bill Barber]

Don't think a modded TB can be taken into acct with the tuner, your just getting more airflow after the MAF.

 

[FlipTrac_511]

Thanks Bill. How's your mileage, btw?



Todd, what increases will the following Zabtek parts provide:



1. Power pulleys (all applicable to 4.0)

2. MAF

3. Y-pipe

4. Hi-flo cat



Plus do you have any pics of the MAF with the flange adapter built in, installed on the 4.0?



Thanks!

 

[Bill Barber]

420 onthe last full tank, hwy and town, maybe 17/24

 

[FlipTrac_511]

Bill, is that 420 past the "Low Fuel" mark?

 

[Todd Z]

Psy,

most things you install that are in the system after the MAF do not require a re tune....

Only if you want the MOST you can get, have it dyno tuned.... OR send the tuner some data logs..



Trac,

I think that would get you to the 200 mark.... maybe 195 or so.... depends how the truck and your tuning respond to the new mods..



Gary D just posted the pic, I have them in my lib, Rachel, Paul George, all of us have them...



My mpg is great with Rachel driving my st.... 18/19 local, and 24 or more highway...

I drive it local i get 13-15... LOL... I drive the crap out of it....

Thats +/- a few miles after the lgt comes on, have maybe 1.5 gals left

Am certain all gen 1 tracs can get the same as I get if in good tune, running syn oils.

Am amazed by the people on the site that report 12/14 MPG.

Is all in how you drive, tire pressure (I run 40 lbs) with a custom blend of approx 70% nitrogen 30% O2, the Nitro blend make all the diff in the world

Ah cool!

Trac_511,



I would also add / include Royal Purple 5w30 throughout; engine, tranny, differential, radiator and power steering fluid. Your ST will run smoother, quieter, get better gas milage (keeping foot light on the gas pedal), and have more HP.
