Default hp estimate.. yea i kno not annother..

ok so my buddy is claiming that he is going to have 320rwhp and this is being "conservative". this is what he is doing to his car/ whats already there..
cobra u/l intake, 24lb injectors, Fcam, TSF Twisted Wedge heads, 70mm TB

what do you guys think?

Probably more like 280-300 range... Just a guess.. With a really good tune he might be able to break into the 300's.

depending on what kind of dyno he uses too i would say 260-280 is a more than fair range to estimate to the rear wheels...

exactly! depends if its dynojet #'s vs. mustangdyno #'s. mustangdyno numbers are going to be alot lower. he is probably between 260-270rwhp M/D.

mustang dyno puts more of a load on the tires, creating a "real-life" situation (how the car would run driving down the road).

dynojet is free spin and produces higher numbers
