is this true???
I was reading a post where someone said about gsl-se's
"They start at 135 HP from the factory with a broad torque band starting in the low RPMs. Change the intake filter to a free-flowing K&N, bolt on a Racing Beat header and exhaust system (eliminating the cats) and you're up in the 165 - 180 HP range before you've even touched the engine itself"
no offence to the person who wrote this, but I dont know you personally, and a LOT of people exaggerate, so I just wanted to double check, no offence

sounds pretty logical to me, especially seeing as a GSL-SE has a 6 port 13B, and when the 5th and 6th ports open, its gonna love all the added airflow, and exhaust will always give you plenty more power

If it was true you wouldn't see so many folks running carb'd GSL-SEs.

well my fiance just totally freaked me out. She knows how frustrated I am about my car, how its driving me nuts and becoming a constant source of stress. She told me that if I can wait until next spring/summer, she'll get me an SE as a wedding present.

Cone intake, RB single exhaust, MSD, 6 ports removed got me 131.6 RWHP 117.2 RWT on a stock 13B block with 115k on her.
6 port sleeves, adjust timing and a few other things might get a bit more.

Fuel injection is the way to go, but it's not going to get you nearly the horsepower that a carb would unless you replace the stock computer.

All I'm saying is that an exhaust and a cone filter isn't going to get you 165-180hp.

I think you can get 165 but probably not 180. There's not much you can do with the stock FI. The biggest restriction in the Air Flow Meter. So putting bigger injectors won't really help. It's basically running optimal stock. Carbing a SE will make more power and is cheaper than a standalone computer.

That is about right. Header, free exhaust, direct fire, 255lph pump, timed right, .....yep i'm right at 170 with that. Header is suppose to add 30hp is what they say. Do it all and check it.

so, how bout a non ported se, with RB header and exhaust, pull the emissions and fuel injection, replace the stock fuel pump with a holley blue and regulator, DLIDFIS, and slap a delorto on there.... it would be a monster right?

Basicly my engine is the poster child for the setup that RB used to sell.

get a streetported 89-91 N/A motor with and aftermarket ECU 
Or boost your current block. you have a weight advantage over the Supra.
I know my car is not a beast in the strait line, best of 14.942 @ 92.61MPH
But I've built it for road course, not the drag strip. So it doesn't bother me
to get whipped in the strait shots. my boosted 626 does the straits well...
