165Kws to 190Kws

[IhateRICE!]

hey all i was reading somewhere it's not that hard to get a 5L 304 165kws to 190kws with a few cheap mods..

i've put a SS induction and a K&N filter on. it already had a decent exhaust on the car when i bought it so. Any idea on how to get to 190kws cheap

get a greenfoam tune.

A tune would be your best bet, yes.

That's pretty much about right, You will go 190rwhp (190kw) on a tune only most of the time, Nothing to special about that much power for a stock 304. With just the right exhaust and a manual box you can go to about 230 rwhp

also switch to a good quality full synthetic oil of the correct grade, oh and some nice extractors if you don't have them yet, it all helps

no way, thats 170rwkw, thats alot of power to get out of a 5ltr for just a tune, exhuast and manual.

We are running a VC 308 with injected heads, an auto, extractors and a single 2 1/2" with a Haltech and it is just under 250rwhp.....

im going to the dyno in a couple of weeks so i should be expecting those sorta figures then

well it's got a decent manual into.. how much for a Foamy chip??

[stocky]

about $50 i think. definately worth it

Forget the synthetic oil. It would burn it up like cooking oil in a week.

yeah havent heard good things about 304s and synthetic oil. HPR30 for me

Stay a LONG way away from full synthetics on a 304. The bearings don't like it AT ALL

Totally possible with a manual box and a GOOD twin system, 170 rwkw is the most power I've seen from one though, A guy called Drema on SC. His car runs 9.0 1/8th 14.0 1/4 on a 3.08 diff. The WORST power I've seen from a manual 5 litre with a tune was 147 rwkw, all that had was a lot of ks on it and a 2.5 inch cat back
