Default How do i get 300rwhp?

Hey! I'm really in a hurry to get my car to 300 atleast at the wheels, since i feel really bad and regretful that i got the mustang instead of a Ws6 =\. I need to make my car "better" =] So i'm aiming at 300rwhp..

Right now it's basically a stock 2006 Gt 5spd, with a JLT CAI, SCT X3 93 octane tune[by brenspeed], flowmaster axle back, steeda TB spacer, and a pypes o/r h...

What else do i need to install? excluding forced induction...

I keep hearing about pulleys and TB, but i just have little faith in gains on either of those...

Would shorties be able to do it? Thanks

also

i'd like to be able to keep up with my uncle's 06 GTO.. I dont think i'd be able to take it (its stock and an AT) at the moment i dont think... (good 100hp diff)

and theres this kid with a 95 Mustang V6 AT (stock) that says his will take mine, im not much learned in the mustang world, so idk what all i'd have to do to be better than his car...?

Shorties, UDPs, and you're definitely at 300+rwhp.
You might be at 300rwhp now if you have a custom tune.

if you have a jlt cai and 93 tune by brenspeed you are already close to 300rwhp, 290probably.. long tubes udp's and electric water pump you can hit 330rwhp if your tuner knows what hes doing.

really you think? i guess that would explain why the tires keep spinning when i start in 1st or second...


i think i'd go headers, probably shorties instead of LTs since i just bought the o/r h...

thanks!

just so you know you dont really gain much power using shorties, 5rwhp or so. Long tubes usually net around 20-25rwhp

If you have an O/R H pipe it won't matter if you have long tubes or shorties, the cats are deleted in the mid pipe...hence "o/r."

I did the Steeda CAI W/ HI-flow tube and Brenspeed tunes and while I haven't dynoed I would certainly think that it's close to 300, so I would think you gotta be close.
