It's extremely hard to guess what HP a certain mod would add, mostly because not every engine is the same and mods have different effects on it. Even harder to estimate when we don't know what your current numbers are.

I'm guessing your probably about 190 - 195 RWHP now? Is that about right or have you not had any dyno runs yet?

umm yea im assuming round 200 RWHP, never dynoed it, but from what everyone who has ran their cars at the track they are saying i hav more than i think because they are runnig high thirteens and i am beating them by half a car. I dk your guess is a lot better than mine so any Numbers would be aprreciated thanks guys.

Most people who do the TrickFlow top end kit end up with about 280 - 285 RWHP. I would expect less than that due to the differences between the Explorer setup and the TF setup. Again, it's a pure guess based on a pure guess of what you have now and what wuality the GT40 parts will be... But if I had to guess, I'd say 255 - 265 RWHP. Again, it's nothing more than a ballpark guess based on what little info we have

thx for the guesses tho sam, i just needed ballpark like you said. Do u think im better off going with the traickflow? cuz i wanna do a cheap buildup. but i dk if the porting will cost just as much as getthing the h/c/i
