Default Gain 100 to 115 horses

Hello all.. I just picked up a Green 1994 Mustang GT convertible with a auto trans, I found out the horsepower is only 215. How hard would it be to gain another 100 to 115 without going with a Turbo.. Super Charger.. or NOS. And if I do this will the computer need to be worked on. Thanks for the help

Or do a gear swap for the rearend. Go with 4:10s and it'll FEEL like you gained 100 hp.

Guaranteed smile-maker.

tfs kit will only get you about 60 rwhp more and in the end cost more and deliver less than it would of if you had of done supercharger or turbo...... www.on3performance.com or a 5-6 psi kit from www.superchargersonline.com

1525.00 plus add in some of the upgrades like inj's, fuel pump, maf, ect ect and you'll be at 2500 ish and add an easy 100-150 rwhp, possibly more depending on boost level set at........best bang for the buck
