Default Aproximate power of bolt on 5.0

My friend has a 93 GT with the following mods:

2.5" exhaust, long tube headers
E303 cam
CAI
stock headers, stock compression ratio, stock displacement
aftermarket intake manifold, I can't recall the brand

Anyway he took me for a ride and it definately pulls hard, but he's claiming 400 hp (crank). Is anyone making that much on stock displacement on pump gas?

205rwhp, being generous. But then again, 400 does seem reasoable: 100hp for the intake and 100 for the exhaust[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

yeah a lot of guys that drive 5.0s for the first time and get thrown back in their seats WAY over estimate their horse power.
Only way to be 100 percent is to dyno it
convince your buddy to dyno it for his own sake

Wait till he goes braging to someone about his 400 horse when they have a good 350 + HP and he races them and get's his doors blown off.
