You should be around the 300hp range with the nitrous, the torque will be your winner! SINCE nitrous has a more drastic effect on lesser efficient engine outputs!
Should be at or over 250 with e7 boat anchors with the intake and camshaft on 125shot...

About 350 wheel on the spray. It's senseless to ask on a forum. Get the car dyno'd or take it to the strip and calulate your HP using your cars weight and E/T if it really matters that much to ya. I've always been more concerned with what it'll run at the track than power numbers. Lot of dyno racers on the interwebs though.

How can et and car weight be spot on in calculation when many other factors apply??!! Did you make a useful pass, did you smoke the tires did your clutch or torque converter slip etc! My gauge is if i won the race or not! That is the end all result! I dont really care about dyno numbers myself just winning the money i have on the line. I have made more street runs than track passes over the yrs so et`s are not there for me in most cases!

Well excuse the F%&K out of me Mr. Fast & Furious street racer. But the question was to estimate HP was it not? Not how you guage your life 10 seconds at a time. 
Last time I checked a dyno is still the most common way to calulate HP. There is no way on earth to tell how much power your making if your running around in a broke *** car with a slipping clutch unless you want to pull the engine and hit up an engine dyno now is there? Are you going to take on Brian O Connor with a slipping clutch or converter in your next big money street race??? Thought not! And sorry you cant get off the line without spinning tires. You'd think a bad *** street racer would have heard of drag radials by now. That is with the money being on the line and all. I stand by my first post about asking someone to estimate HP on a forum. You'll get 10 hugely different answers from 10 different people.

Well the main point to my post was to ask the accuracy of the stated hp calculation, in the relation to all the variants! And all i got was a very ignorant if not stupid reply?? wtf?
Converter and clutch issues can be spur of the monent, you have too much power and traction and the clutch slips can happen with new broken-in or worn pieces, the converter overheats and dosent flash like it should, or hell even locks the car for .005secs on reaction!
To blindly show ignorance tying to be arrogant and just rude is on the edge of stupidity, now as i was saying how accurate is your advice?
Web hp calculations are hit and miss but if you get a valuable quote from someone who has had numerous variants and engine outputs then they will be closer to the actual numbers that you will produce on a dyno!!!
If you arent ignorant on how nitrous oxide works and helps less efficient engines in an abundant way!
But hey he could not knowingly get on the dyno with a worn clutch and it slip and get your 250hp LMFAO!!!
It is a shame that you list the TFX kit in your sig and make such a rediculous remark!
Sorry for sparking your pms symptoms my bad!

Since were talking Mustangs. How does Ford certify the Horse power of their engines? Let me guess, they sent you a PM and asked you what kind of power their new 5.0 was making before they marketed it right? Your babbling about worn clutch’s and nitrous but you threw out the number 300 like it was a scientific fact. I guess your crystal ball can tell the OP has a clipping clutch... Get over yourself kid. You dont know any more about this stuff then the rest of us!

Kid? nice touch! MY exact post was "you should be around the 300hp RANGE" you dip****!
Never did i or have i doubted the dyno`s worth, it is a great piece of equipment!
If you go back and slowly reread the posts then you will see you are the only jackass here!
I know more than some here and some know more than I! That is a FACT! Can you deny that?
Fool also LOL!!
My guess is an educated/experienced guess OP will you post dyno results when you do take your car PLEASE!
Thanks for the attempt to make me look like a fool but i still think you need more practice at it!
You arent even on the same topic as me and are wildly slinging bull****!
Please reread and if you think after that, that i owe you an apology then i will do so in my next post!
