your gonna have to do alot more to make use of that exhaust, the hp claims are based when you do full h/c/i swap and alot of times on stroker motors. Keep modding it will all come together when you do the intake and h/c/i combo.

I put longtubes, o/r h, and flowmaster mufflers on my STONE STOCK 5.0L mustang, and it shaved .3 off my 1/4 time.

You got a good start on the exhaust side, now all you need is HCI, and that exhaust setup will pay off.

+1, also agree with Ninety5five0, a h/c/i combo with TB/MAF will be a solution....

Per Bassani: Long Tube Headers are only recommended for applications exceeding 350hp for maximum performance gains.
