buy a maf conversion kit = wire harness and pcm for maf and a maf sensor...anyway what you want is torque!! that's what launches the car hard...as hp increases so often does torque.....you ain't gonna gain much hp without spending money!!! you want power..you gotta pay to play

i have a 87 gt and i know that supposedly they come with 230hp

whats the max hp these engins and trans can take im pretty sure ill blow my trans at 500 hp
but im not going that hi im liking of a supercharger and sum bolt ons but i dont want to detonate anything i need reliability

so over all whats the max hp i can slap on with out blowing things up??
you'll blow the t-5 long before 500 hp.... a safe range for the stock block is 450 hp

it all depends on how hard you beat on it at the track...I just gernaded a 7.5 rear with a 230-240 rwhp 92 stang yesterday..but then again I was launching at 6k....8.8 rear will be fine upgrade axles as a min......and I'm still running a stock t-5 but it's the weak link..so go til she blows
