I'm not sure took to a local dyno shop and they put a chip in it and gave me a print out with all the info on it, don't have it with me right now (at work getting paid to play on the internet) just remember that was the hp it put down.

there are cams made specially for stroker apps.
if you have an aod sroker is not the way to go. stroker is for manuals so
you will have less problems running radical cams to get the most out of it.
if you have an aod you should have super charged instead of stroker

Why cant you strokea car with an aod? Your smokin somethin dude. Man just reading your problems made me gasp for air thinkin of how suffocated your set up is. YOU NEED HEADS AND INTAKE! I bet you would get over 100 horsepower with that swap. I believe the stock heads will only support around 300 horsepower. Which is about where you are, if you figure a loss of 20-25% through an automatic tranny you would have around 220 horse. About where you are at. Get a stroker cam, AFR 185's and a holley systemax intake, or even a performer RPM. Please, for the sake of your motor and the reputation of all stroker mustangs FIX YOUR CAR!

Thanks for all the input don't look like I'll be doing heads/intake right now, the wife said no spending money on the car.[:@] I guess stuff like groceries and paying the electric bill are more important.

Anyway I guess I'll just sit here plotting my revenge.[sm=badbadbad.gif]

Check this out... This might help your intake decision if when you decide to get one... The systemax made like 30 more horsepower than the others.... Unfortunately i found this AFTER i bought my track heat...

This is what makes forums so bad sometimes, this guy clearly has no clue whatsoever.
