I have a Blue '00 mustang GT. It's got a flowmaster cat-back system, K&amp;n filtercharger system, new 70 mm throttle body, new 85 mm Mass Airflow sensor, underdrive pulleys, the intake manifold is ported and polished, and 3:73 gears. I'm just wondering about how much horsepower my car is pushing out. I can guess and guess all day, but i'd much rather have the opinion of people who know what they're talking about.</P>


I plan to get and X-pipe and headers soon, and im wondering if anyone has an idea what the horsepower will be then. </P>


Thanks guys, im new here and i hope to get on a lot more. </P>

Roughly 35-40hp. After the headers and x-pipe, l'm guessing another 35hp.

Maybe that might be a little on the high side.... But who knows!

Take it to a dyno day at your local speed shop. At the moment, I'd say those 3.73's are the most significant mod you made, as far as getting down the track faster.</P>

Kyle did you feel a difference in your lowend power when you put on that throttle body and M/A meter? I'm thinking about a 70mm w/a Anderson Ford Motorsport Mass Air meter. How do you like that 3.73 gear...honestly? Aside from drag racing...do u get tired of the high rpms around town/expressway?

Kylestang

Thanks, those numbers are kind of what i figured, but i wanted more opinions. </P>


GSXRIntensity...With the tb and M/a, i didnt feel much, throttle response was a little better, but i'm hoping it will help out of i eventually spend the moneyon a supercharger. i like the gears a lot. It gave me huge amounts of power that i hadnt seen until then. my gas mileage dropped a little, but who cares, if i want good mileage, i'd buy a civic. I really dont mind the high rpm's. the louder engine noise just makes people look and drool even more than theydid.It took a little getting used to, but im fine now. </P>


I have one more question. If i got heads or a new cam. How much would i have to change, or could i keep all the stuff that i already put on. What else would i have to do if i got either or both?</P>


Thanks a lot</P>

I wouldn't think you would want to change anything. The cam and heads would just enhance what you already have. I'd definitely get the headers and exhaust first though. No point in a cam if you can't get the air in and out of the engine.</P>

Oh I bet that sucks Dred.I bet at the time your thinking if only I was in my truck I would bust that a$$!

DrededSS

Every time. On my next SS, I'm switching it over to roller and spray, then adding a gearvendors. There's a couple trucks with that setup getting 18 mpg and running high 12's.</P>
