your far from it cuz of the automatic transmission 20% drivetrain loss ftl

Full Exhaust, Full Intake, Cams, Heads and a tune will get you to 280ish to the wheels... quickest route small shot of nitrous (100)

Being generous... 6 for the intake 25 for the full exhaust
260 * .2 = 52
260-52 = 208
208 + 31 = 239 to the wheels...

thats not 260 rwhp tho. hes talking about to the wheels, which is after the 20% drivetrain loss in this case, as its an auto. 260hp= 208rwhp

Wow I had no idea the difference was that high. I have an 04 GT Automatic I am trying to work on I thought I was pushing more hp but I guess not. I seriously have no idea what to do to my car anymore. California sucks.

I'm actually gonna be leaving CA this summer, thank God. Once that move is over, it's long tube headers and no catalytic converters for my 'Stang.

Procharger makes a 50 state legal supercharger for the 04s. Thats your best bet. Be careful with the other kits, they are only legal from 99-03.
