Tremec 3550 Transmission
BBK Short Throw Shifter
BBK Throttle Body
BBK Springs

Hedman Shorty Headers
BBK H-pipe
Flowmaster Force II Catback Exhaust
Edlebrock Intake Manifold
Ford Racing E-303 camshaft
C&L Mass Air
3.55 Gear Ratio

you'll be lucky to break 300rwhp

see sig.

dyno run was done with stock cat-back ( now have Flowmasters )
and 14* timing ( now at 18* )
and on 100+* outside temp.

about to do cam swap and re-run on dyno, will let you know.

You said your engine was blue printed so Im guessing you now have a 306? I would say then your are making a good 300hp.

The Tremec is going to use a little more power than other manual cars.
As for the hedman's, id just go with some BBK longtubes and o/r H pipe.
And a trick flow spacer wont work with an Edelbrock intake.

Other than that it sounds like a good set up. If you get it tuned right i'd say around 300whp.

But good luck!

Thanks for the replies guys. Forgot to add it's a 331 not a 306. It's not my car, it's a guys car here in town and he's claiming sub 12 second runs out of it. I called him out on it and thought I would get your opinions. He's qouting a AC cobra that puts down 325 at the tires with edelbrock heads, 306ci, systemax intake, wouldn't say what cam lol. I'm building a 66' Stang for the wife, 331, AFR185's, XFI 236HR cam, track heat intake and a Vortech S-trim at 8psi. I figure that setup would be somewhere in the 400rwhp range, maybe a bit more. I'm a GM guy for the most part but still love Mustangs. <3 notch's My current vehicle besides my truck is a 69' Tempest (gto), original SOHC straight 6 with a 60-1 at 12psi, should put down mid 400's. 20psi is gonna be fun to tune and play with at the track
