hello
hello, hows everyone doin? I recently bought a 99 gt conv (manual) , had to get rid of my rice burner from college (01 tiburon). I've already put on a K&N cai, and I have a buddy who is going to put in a set of 4.10 ford racing gears in a couple of months for me. within the next year I'm looking at putting in a short shifter, a high flow exhaust w/ x or h pipe, equal length headers,intake spacer, under drive pullies, and tuning it up with a diablo chip. Later upgrades include suspension, engine rebuild w/ forged internals, clutch, tranny, and blowzilla sc from kenne bell, but I gotta pay the car off and get a new daily driver before I go all out. Anyways I was wondering with the mods I have listed if 290 rwhp is a reasonable expectation? thanks for any input, btw I'm not changing the tb, because it will have to be replaced with a larger one again once the sc is installed.

RE: hello
With just the bolt on's & tune your looking around 275rwph or so but with the forged internals and the SC your talking numbers way higher than that...

RE: hello
yeah 275 is probably more realistic. My ultimate goal is about 700rwhp, on kenne bell's web site they had a 99 gt up to 684rwhp on 20 psi, I figure 20 psi and a 75 shot of no2 will get me there. I have a friend who works at ford as a mechanic and claims the stock block will hold up to 1000hp, the guts of the engine though will crap out around 450 though. So I guess I'll find out some day. thanks for the reply.
