    Need numbers...

    No, not phone numbers - let me explain. For my final project in my "computing for engineers" class, I'm planning to write a computer program that will ESTIMATE how much hp/tq certain mods will yield with certain engines. The user will input the engine and mods and the program will calculate the APPROXIMATE hp/tq results. Yes, I understand that there are many variables (AFR, timing, compression,etc.) but, again, this program will ESTIMATE hp/tq. I have some good info now but I need as much as I can get, thanks guys

    Examples:
    -Stock hp/tq for the 4.8L/5.3L/6.0L
    -Injector duty cycle for engine size and boost level
    -Approximately how much hp/tq per # of boost a given engine will produce
    -hp/tq gains a given cam will yield with a N/A or boosted setup

    ~ Forged engine of some type ~ Ball bearing turbo of an unconfirmed size ~ 4L8000 trans ~ Beefy fuel system ~

    I don't know what you have found yet, but this book is available at Autozone, Amazon, and a lot of book stores and it gives hp/torque numbers for the large majority of GENIII motors.. down to the year and everything.
