Talking HP/TQ Estimate

Hey guys I was just wondering what kinda power you guys think I’m putting out with the modifications I’ve done to my 06 GT, here’s the list.

Engine:
Ford performance intake manifold, twin 62mm throttle body, JLT cold air Intake, 91 Oct race tune, ceramic coated BBK Long tube headers, BBK off road mid-pipe, SR performance Under-drive pulleys (I think that’s all).

=inheritOther: obviously I know none of these modifications have anything to do with power but I just wanted to include.Short throat shifter, 19 inch staggered wheels 9 wide front, 10 wide back. Drilled and slotted rotors, carbon fiber ceramic brake pads, Eibach lowering springs, LED head lights, Sequential tail lights.

You've come to the right place. You obviously still have the stock cams so I'd say roughly 335rwhp & 335rwtq.

Default Thanks for the reply!

Where do you think a decent pair of cams would put me at??

It depends on which cams you buy. Most will cause a torque loss below 4500rpm but produce significant gains from 5000+. The popular CompCams NSR 127200, Brenspeed Detroit Rockers, and Ford Performance Hot Rod cams will get you into the 355-360rwhp range. Peak TQ may drop slightly to about 330-335.
