It all depends on what type of components you are running and tune. My guess: anywhere from 350-520rwhp w/slightly more torque.

this would be on a 331 with 185 afr heads 75 mm throttle body system max intake 24lbs injectors-- shorty headers 2.5 inch exhaust.
The blower is a powedyne bd11 that I was using on my truck for the last 5 years -- quiet and still works well'

I am looking for a bracket for the 89 mustang --any suggestions???

but yeah this is something I have already just wanted to gauge what type of hp and tq gain I should ecpect,

Better go get some 42s or larger. If you don't, get ready to buy another motor and start all over again. With 24s you will get 375+ HP for about 5 minutes then CABOOOOOOM. Your Tq will be all over the floor.

Okay, now that I know your basic combo, you'd be lucky to hit 420rwhp with that blower. Torque should be decent, around 460rwtq. The reason is, that blower is going to be a little too small for a 331ci.
