What is roughly th hp rating on a stock 5.0? My care is a 90 by the way.

225hp/300tq

is that at the wheels?

lookinforastang

no way lol thats at the flywheel

probably 190/260 to the wheels

alot of car shows have taken interest in the 5.0's and often dyno them stock with tons of miles. ive yet to see a 5.0 push over 200 rwhp stock

still.. these cars are very quick from the factory and they react to mods very well.

im assuming your next question will be, whats the best mod? AFR 165 heads, hands down

3.79/4.10 gears will make your car signifcantly quicker too

hellion turbo kit would put those AFR's to shame hahaha

yeah yeah, i know, not comparable, whatever man... haha

OnyxCobra

not when u compare prices

boss429

haha yeah, thats why i threw in the not comparable bit.

now the real deal would be both.

hello 12 seconds if you could get her to hook

lookinforastang

more like 9's/10's

heads alone will get u into the 12s with the right suspension

boss429

so what, if i give my bone stock 88 5.0 a good tune up

plugs, wires, rotor, cap, yadda blah etc. convert it to MAF and slap on some 165's

throw on some upper/lower control arms, subframes, and some drag suspension

it'll run 12's with some sticky rubber?

this just seems to goo to be true.

HC_CrAzYHoRsE

bolt-ons + H/C/I + suspension and sticky tires will get you in the mid 12s.


EDIT: wait wait wait ....what model are we talking about here ? i always assume a 5spd notch, but that's not always the case.
