i was in the car show today and found a 5.0 5 speed, CAI, Edelbrock intake(icant remember which one) BBK throttle body, shortie headers, bassani catback. i was wondering if any of you guys would know about ballpark range this car would be putting down to the wheels or bhp?
thanks

With stock H/C...Low 200...Maybe 235???

It is amazing the power that Mustangs have with such low HP ratings...they say you really need to consider the torque too...

yeah i actually forgot to even ask about torque ratings, but yeah it does have stock H/C from what he said. I have a 96 with a few mods and asked him for a trade and I'll probably have to throw out some more cash on my end of the trade also but I really liked it and figured it'd have a good bit more power than my 96GT.

a 5.0 stock comes 225

I'm believing he meant 200-235 RWHP, unless I'm wrong of course

prob 210 to the wheels

whats a sleeper, is how the small 302 makes very good HP per cubic inch capabilities, with a crap load of torque at top.

I still cant wipe the grin off my face, ive seen 160rwhp-178 rwhp on auto's , 190 with manuals on dynos

Doesn't matter what the dyno says, it's what it can do at the track

CCF5000

That's true i may be way off but 210 is my guess. Honestly imo these cars are moved by torque lol.

Remember,
Torque= how hard you'll hit a wall..........
Horsepower = how fast you'll hit it.........
