That is going to depend on several factors. Which pulley, what fuel system mods, air delivery mods, what else has been done to the car, exhaust, transmission type, are you going with the Saleen tune or a custom tune, etc.

Oh yeah i forgot this will be my first mod and as far as the supercharger im getting the stage 2 kit from THR its rated 475hp i think its at the crank, it comes with i think a 3.6 pully 39# injectors bigger intake. i think they want to use the saleen tune first to see how much it puts out and if i dont like it then we will get the tune done with a sct. other then that i will just do suspension modes lca's springs, uca's.

My 05 GT after I installed the Saleen SC last month dyno'd on a Mustang Dyno at 427rwhp and 404 ft lbs torque with 39 lb injectors,3.6 pulley,95mm MAF from wmsracing.Tuned locally with SCT-2 tuning software and running stock exhaust. Don't get caught up in all this HP stuff.I think anything over 400 for a every day driver is plenty.I don't think you can or will tell the difference between 30 or 40 hp on a every day driver. Trying to hook up on street tires with stock suppension is almost impossible in first gear and second pretty much breakes loose. Best thing to consider is a good steady A/F ratio across the rpm range.To lean and bad things happen to the motor.You may see higher HP gains around 6000 and up rpms but I would rather lose a few rwhp and not be leaned out on the A\F.The car is fun to drive and the low end torque is wild. My two cents worth.

That is probably the best statement anyone will offer him.

Mine is an automatic and puts about 410 to the wheels. And like said A/F is very important. Mine runs towards the richer side now which is better than running leaner. A/F was in the 11's. I would someday like to have more HP, but not on my stock engine. I'm having a blast the way it is now anyway.

I got 375rwhp from the original January 06' Saleen flash tune(before the upgrade 475flywheel tune>>>. The 475 tune kit from Saleen is making 410-415rwhp from two friends of mine in LA.

My JDM 3.6 8lb pully tune is making about 410-415rwhp on 65 degree day, 93octane, pulled to 6300rpm and with ignition timing of 17 on the Street R tune

Jim Sr. says with a custom Dyno my kit can make 440-460 by adding more timing, and a C&L race tube. Hope that helps, Erik
