Got a 87 lx. here's all the mods. Mass air conv.,76mmair meterTyphoon intake, 65 TB/spacer, 30 lb inj, underdrives, electric fan, smog delete, b cam, and i think i'm probably gonna order some tfs track heat heads(still debatin on which heads but am leaning towards them) Any guesses on what horsepower and torque at the flywheel is gonna be.

235-240rwhp tops. you have basically a stock motor with a couple bolt ons. and those injectors are WAY to big. even after h/c/i those injectors are too big

its a hit or miss with them, they said that no aftermarket heads would fit a 86 block and that wasnt true. so really i wouldnt rely on ford racing. but what he said would be good guess, that cam will do little with stock heads, and the rest is just bolt ons, maybe 240 wheel.

235-240rwhp. hell stock 5.0 are 225hp at the flywheel. So what your sayin is with all that i'm gonna do i'm just gonna gain 20hp or so. I personally dont believe that. the intake alone should gain 20 hp. the exhaust oughta gain 15 or so. Heads 30-50 hp. Your calculations dont ad up in my opinion. I aint sayin your wrong but i think it'll be way better than that. When i finish it i'm gonna try and take it straight to the dyno. That will determine it all.

Well if thats true, i can always put a regulator on it. I dont like using them but it serves the purpose. Plus if what ya'll say is true, then i'll have plenty of injector for any other mods i do in the future. i still dont believe 240rwhp. but i'm new in efi, but not in carb. I know there two different worlds.
