what horse power can I expect from a mild street port? What hp can I expect with a mild street port , exhaust and intake mods done? Just woundering I guess what the patential of a first gen with the mild port and all the upgrades I can do to it would turn in hp numbers. thanks! ohh by the way its an 83 12a

yeah I've seen that before but it doesn't tell you what you have to do exactly to achieve the 200hp goal. If you know and could tell it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!!

 

12A large (extend) streetport, full racing beat streetport exhaust system, msd blaster 2 coils, weber downdraft, holley red fuel pump & regulator, ( i went ahead and upgraded the metal fuel line under the car to a 5/8ths aluminum line). uhhhh, oh yeah, a heavy foot

 

sounds good if I where to get a large street port however I am only going to have a mild port so what is the max hp I can have with that? Thanks for responding by the way

 

why not go for the gusto? it should be just as much for the large port. hell, send 'em to me and i'll port them for $100.00 but you pay for shipping both ways

 

lol thanks man but I'm thinking about getting an 83 in the first gen clasifieds that already has the port done and only has 12k miles on the rebuild but thats the thing its already done.

 

Id venture to guess around 200+ HP. 150 seems to be the limit with the stock ports, so 200+ with proper intake and exhaust seems logical to me.

ok that sounds good just need to know what to do to get me there. I thought I didn't have to change the carb till after 200hp? now call me dumb but I've had alot of first gens just all gsl-se's so I don't know a thing about carbs. When i put on the exhaust and whatever else I have to do to get it to the 200hp goal will it start messing with idle or anything? do I need a nother carb I guess is what I'm asking? Thanks
