You are looking at 240-250whp. Mine before my tune made 258whp and 292 tq with longtubes. Get some longtubes put on that car and get a dyno tune and you will be happy. Mine is making 268/310 and all I have is full exhaust.

Well that makes me depressed lol

Is there any suspenion mod's? Tires? Have you ever raced before?

Was it tuned by THIS mustang magic shop? Or somewhere else?

They did this car which has been all over you tube for years...I LOVE THIS CAR....


No matter what, 305 is out-fuking-rageous for those mods...no way it's true without other mods. Cams maybe?

Dyno numbers don't mean jack. They are a tuning tool and nothing more. I post mine anyway, lol

I don't see why the car OP bought couldn't easily run some high 13s with some practice. Slap some DRs on it and call it a solid mid 13 second car.

i didnt buy it based on the 305, and i believe he was saying is has about 305 range of trq, or honestly that may be at the crank idk.

The Car Also Has Ford Racing Suspension, Steeda front stableizers and strut tower also running 275 tires in the rear, and upgrades sway bars
