is that 347 at the rear wheels? what all have you done to her car? what would i have to do to get my 97 to that level of performance, im looking for somewhere between 350-400 rwhp

 

Yes thats to the wheels... we dont care about crank hp around here. Do some sticks, intake, exhaust and a good tuner and see if you like it. Thats what these guys dynoing 347hp and 375hp are doing.

 

She has the normal intake, exhaust, chip, 38R and AC's... Runs great, cant get it hot and gets good mileage.

 

wow that's really impressive

 

thats intercooled though right? how big of a difference does the intercooler make? i was reading in the stickys about the 97 7.3, 225 hosepower, and the 2000, 250 or 275 depending on trans, why do they add more power for the manual trans? what is the difference between the 97 and the 2000, all that i know of is intercooler. and what was the differnce between the 99 and 00? one 99 had 235hp and 00 had 250 is it all in just the computer programing or what? thanks

 

The 95-97 had AA injectors with a 15* hpop, no intercooler.

The 96-97 cali edition had AB spilt shots with a 15* hpop and no intercooler.

The early 99 had a little different turbo setup and had AB split shots. With a 15* hpop they had an intercooler and an electric fuel system.

The late 99-03 had a little different turbo with AD split shots and a 17* hpop. They had an intercooler and electric fuel.

 

thank you were the AB split shots better than AA? is there an advantage to a split shot? What was the difference on the AD? how much of a difference will an intercooler make for me? and are there any intercoolers that i could get out of a parts truck that will fit well or is a new kit the best way to go?

 

AAs are 90cc

ABs are 120cc

ADs are 140cc

When I did my IC I saw about 100* drop in temp at WOT. It wont do much if your stock but if you plan on adding power it is a must.

 

All CC above are per 1000 shots...

Here is some good reading about injectors, take some time and read the sticky files above...
