I would think 10 horsepower for the pulleys and intake. If you read around these threads you will see that people recommend gears first then start with the bolt-ons.[sm=gears.gif]

Can you guys get mid 350's for your 4.6's? For a classic, 390's would be a bit much for 75 MPH highway use.
I know my 03 Mach1 has a 3:55.1 axle ratio.

We can get 3.55's. In fact you should have them on your Mach 1. Most people like 3.73+ though.

Bottom end will improve, but they are talking about 75 MPH highway use. Why go beyone 3:55's for this application?
