Default What will give me 350-400 RWHP without major mods? What is stock HP?

How much rear wheel does a 94 gt 5.0 have stock? How much more do you think the bassani X pipe and flow master 1 chambers will give me using stock headers? This car is my daily driver I would like to lightly mod it to make it more fun to drive. What are minor mod's could get me 350-380 RWHP?
[/align]I don't want to lower my engine life. Gas mileage is not a big deal I don't however want to absolutely kill my gas mileage if I can help it. I have 105,000 miles on the car if that matters. I would also like to not have to mod stuff like pumps cooling system I don't want it to have a lot of stress on the motor. Thanks for any advice[/align]

I don't think any minor mods are going to get you there.

LMAO, that was my first though. But I'm trying to be a kindler - gentler Samseed.

Seriously though, 400 RWHP without major mods? Not gonna happen. The 1994 GT has 215 BHP (not RWHP.) Subtract about some ponies for the tranny and that will give you about 185 RWHP. That leaves you 215 RWHP short.

Just to give you an idea.... my 95 GT only has 430 RWHP. Thats with 10 PSI of boost from a supercharger, water / meth injection, and a 100-shot of nitrous.

And if you're pushing that much HP, you're going to be shortening the life of your engine no matter what. Maybe not by a lot, but added stress is added stress.

Actualyl I was just doing some math.... Right now he's about 185 RWHP. He only needs like 215 more RWHP. Now if he advances his timing, then each degree of advancement may net him 2 RWHP. So All he has to do is get a timing gun and advance his timing 108 degrees. He will probably have to use premium gas though
