Ya 300 horse = Good H/C/I, and supporting mods....Injectors, MAF, TB, Fuel Pump, Regulator. Get a good tune also.

not really. you can get 300 with gt40's

here is my friends 306 with a good H/C/I

i think there is still more in it with a better intake

punctuation man. please.
haha but yeah with those mods your nowhere near 300.
my car had full exhaust(bbk headers/hpipe and flow's) and a cheap azz cold air intake and dyno'd at 187 horses.
so dont expect much. my car has high miles tho and runs a little rough so that could be a cause.

Default RE: horse power guess?

just to give you an idea-- as far as performance parts, my 93GT these parts--

Cobra upper and lower intake
MSD ignition box (6A)
MSD blaster II coil
MSD plugs wires
BBK equal length headers
Cold air intake
(and B&M short throw for kicks)

i had mine dynoed in colorado altitudes and it put 220.6 RWHP and 276 LB/TQ. And as most of you know the 93GT horse power rating was down-sized to 205 flywheel HP from 1992's 225HP rating. so 220 to the wheels is not bad for my engine with only about $700-800 worth of bolt-ons.

Please use punctuation. I realize this isnt the grammar forum, but i cant even understand that jarbled mess of what slightly resembles a paragraph. Im gonna agree with jasper, probably no more than 210 RWHP
