HP limit with stock REW intake manifold and T-body

As the title says? Also wondering how much people have made with a 90mm t-body with a JW square bore manifold and throttle body elbow over the stock stuff.


Thanks

considering people are doing over 500whp on the smaller FC throttlebody and manifolds, I'd say the limit is higher than what you are probably looking to realistically achieve

IIRC Abel made around 940HP on a stock intake and TB. Enzo could probably tell you how much difference just the intake swap would make. I think thats what they did on his brothers car.

you don't install an aftermarket TB and manifold for more low and mid range power. the REW manifold is already optimized for low and mid range power. It has basically no plenum. There are a lot of dynamic effects at work with intake manifolds. It's not like installing a downpipe/exhaust where you just reduce restriction and pick up power and response.

Forcefed Racing made over 800 whp on a stock S5 intake manifold. The REW has even larger runners and secondary TB plates, so I'm sure it will be more than you need.

Well then, 800rwhp it is. I'll save that money and put it toward a jerico/g-force trans.
Thanks guys
