take your dyno'd RWHP and add around 17%...that will be your crank HP

As far as aftermarkets, I have:
SCT w/ dyno'd custom tune, Steeda Intake, Steeda Underdrive Pulleys, Plasma Booster Ignition, JBA Long-Tube Headers, JBA Off-Road H-Pipe, JBA Evolution Exhaust, Ford Racing 3.73 Gears, Ford Racing FR500 18" Rims, BFGoodrich g-force t/a KDW 275/35/18 tires, Eibach Pro-Kit Springs, Steeda Motor Mounts

That put me to 315 RWHP

Do the math and that is around 370 crank HP...if you go my way of doing it, get you some 4.10 gears and toss the PB ignition

I have an auto and my mods are the following.

Flowmasters
U/D pullies
Electric Water Pump
3.73's
C&L w/Brenspeeds 93 tune
Off road H pipe

With that, I am at 288wrhp.

Hope this helps.

to the crank?

JLT2 with custom brenspeed tune
JBA longtubes and o/r h pipe with appropriate tuning adjustments of course.
udp's and tbs, just in case.

that should DEFINETLY get you there on any well broken in 3v 5speed manual.


to the ground?

JLT2 with custom brenspeed tune
JBA longtubes and o/r h pipe with appropriate tuning adjustments of course.
udp's and tbs.
stage 2 ported heads
stage 2 cams.



this should get you there with no problem. i've seen plenty of results with these mods; in excess of 360 rwhp is common.

I think for about $4,600.00 the Brenspeed Paxton S/C package is very tough to beat for $ per hp increases(assuming you do the install-maybe $300-500 more on a dyno tune). You can get around 500 crank hp....maybe add Kook's long tubes & cat-pipes for further enhancements. JMO
Agreed, however one begs to ask.. do you really want / need 500 hp with your daily driver? As it is this car with a CAI & Good tune can be hard to handle in the rain, and prolly impossible in the snow. And then there's the gas mileage... Don't get me wrong if i had a weekend toy i wouldn't stop till i hit 1,000 hp, but as a daily driver there really are limits.

I agree with you completely...Whta i am doing is extracting any extra HP that is there, with easy mods....I will go with a complete custom exhaust next spring, long tubes back, which should put me over the 350 hp figure...I already have an insane car at about 750HP, don't need two of them!
