ok i bought a 1989 mustang with a fully built 302 just installed. literally the motor had been driven up and down my 50ft driveway about 10 times before i acquired it. The previous owner told me the engine builder told him the motor should be making 275hp. I'm not sure thats so accurate though from the engine build sheet i got from him.


ported and polished stock heads
E303 cam
K&N Filter
MSD Distributor
Shorty 5/8" tubed headers
bbk offroad h-pipe 2.5"
Flowmaster 40 mufflers

what do you guys think? 250?

 

not tech

 

feel free to move it to where ever it should've been posted

 

I'd say not even 250.

 

btw, your combo would be lucky to make 225 at the wheels

 

^ This man speaks the truth.

 

same setup as me.Definitely not 250 hp,at the most maybe 230

 

don't worry , I will, and read this in the meantime

thanks, yea i didnt quite know where to post this so i put it in tech. but now i know

yea i wasnt talking at the wheels i was talking at the flywheel.

it's also got a intake spacer and 70mm throttle body.

 

rwhp is all that really matters because there is roughly a 20 percent loss through the drivetrain
