Default 97 mustang 4.6 vs. 89 mustang 5.0

97's mods: C&L intake plenum
Accufab T/B
CAI
BBK U/P
Jet Mass air flow sensor (not sure how big)
superchip tuner
steeda short throw shifter

89's mods: advanced timing
H pipe with high flow cats

89 5.0 is rated at 225 hp and 300 tq from the factory, so you can go from there.

the 5.0 is lighter and has more tq so should put the 97 in the rear view. You really need to get some gears and a 99-04 head/cam/intake swap then you will rape basically stock 5.0's like your friends.

i thought he might take me but all i need is the full exhaust im getting in a couple months and i will beat him then if i get gears i will rape him. i don't need the head cam and intake swap to beat him.
