Low-200.....maybe 225

It is crazy how low the HP ratings are on 5.0s.......but with the weight and the tourque.....they still FLY!!!

prolly 5 more than stock. the hp comes when other supporting mods are put on. airintake and exhast is like having a kink in a garden hose, it still flows but only to a certain point. heads will then undo the kink.
