Trying to get an estimate of HP
I just traded my 1987 Porsche 924S straight up for a 1989 Mustang GT with quite a few mods. It is unknown to me whether any work has been done internally or to the heads. All I know it what I can see (bolt-ons). I was wondering if any of you mighthave an idea ofwhat kind of horsepower this car is making if all it has is the bolt-ons that are in my sig. I also would like your opinions on what kind of 1/4 mile times this car would run with 3.73 gears and an aluminum driveshaft (local track doesn't open until Apr.14 and it's killin me LOL). All I know is that this thing will smoke my 86 GT (AOD) in a heartbeat. Thanks.

RE: Trying to get an estimate of HP
So basically, all of the bolt-ons on the engine are just making up for drivetrain losses?
How much RWHP did these cars make stock? I'm not doubting your estimates, I just thought they would have made more power. Like I said, it could have head/internal work I just don't know. That might be why I think it has more power. It might also be that I'm used to driving the 86 AOD and the 5-speed just "feels" faster.
