Can someone tell me the most HP I can hope to get from bolt on mods for my 07 gt auto. I already have a tune and cai. I plan to get the steeda UD pullies and an elec. water pump. I dont have the time of money to break into the motor for cams and chargers so I guess Im limited to under 400 hp. at the motor. I have 3:73s on order for a little more pep out the hole. Am I missing any bolt ons that will increase me besides redoing the entire exhaust.My mods are in my signature.Thanks for any input guys.

Well, I just got my car Dyno'd today and I'm pretty impressed with what I got so far with the little bolt-ons I have done. Now these Dyno Numbers are with my new additionof Steeda Pullies. My 1/4 time was before the addion of the pullies and some dyno tuning. "Can't wait for the track to open back up to get some new numbers "

287.57 WHP
292.83 WTQ

13.254 before Steeda pullies and Dyno tuning.

GTJUNKIE,

Are you doing the work on your car yourself or are you getting someone else to do it for you? The reason I'm askingis I live on the Westbank and I have been thinking of added stuff to my car. Oh, by the way, great color!

LT Headers and FRPP CMDPs would bump you up 25-30ish.

If you exclude mods that involve the engine internals (Cams, heads, compression ratio changes, blowers, and turbos) then you will be looking at about 325-330 or so max RWHP.

That's going to require a Tune (92 octane), CAI, long tube headers,CMCP delete, and a lightweight driveshaft.

Beyond that you will need to look at the list of earlier stuff that I excluded or you will need Nitrous.

Ok I can live with that. What are cmcp deletes and do I need to buy hooker headers cause they are high in price. Or will some of the other lt headers work just as well. I priced the drive shaft and from ford its not to expensive. I can live with 290 bucks. How intense is the install on these items. 330 to the rear wheels is pretty respectable for a base 300 HP everyday car.

The jokes on you [8D]

The FRPP driveshat is for 1995-2004 stangs, not 2005+'s. Aluminum D/S's cost about 550+ for our cars, and you can install it yourself without to much trouble. They free up about 15 RWHP and take off I think like 20 lbs. Lighter/Smaller wheels will help get a few more horses( 17' Cobra-R wheels are in my future) CAI+Tune adds 25 RWHP, full exhaust you can look for ~30 RWHP, and CMCV is something like 10 RWHP. So 400 Crank isn't too hard. 400 to the ground on the other hand [:-]
