94-5.0

Hey guys, I've had my stang for three days now and I've been taking it really easy on her. She's a 94 so I'm sure she's seen some rough times over the year and assuming that it's still on the original build (Which it might not be...) I wonder how much HP she's making. I'm not sure if I would feel safe putting it on a dyno unless it weren't my daily.

It's a stock 5.0 engine as far as I know. Stock intake, T-5 Tranny, 4:10 Rear. It sounds like it might have a mild cam but I don't know for sure the history is fuzzy on it.

It has hedman headers. I think they're shorty's. Has an H-Pipe, what looks like about a 2.5"+- exhaust, flowmasters.

Do you guys think it would be safe to say it has about 220-225hp? Figuring in whatever the exhaust gives it and assuming that it's also lost a few hp to age.

edit: (On a side note it has about 150,000 miles on it give or take. )

A friend of mine dyno'd his '95 GT the same time I dyno'd my car and he put down around 200 at the wheels with only longtubes, an o/r h and a BBK CAI.

yea i think it will make that easy, cause i know the horsepower rating for a 92 5.0 is 225 hp and 300 torque so it should be around there but it will be less to the weels

i say about 190-200rwhp.
