im a new member, and have been obssesed with mustanngs mywhole life,and the prouud owner of a 88 5.0 hatchback that i just bought, ive done a few mods and hope you guys can give me some good advice

 

Welcome home.</P>


Hope you get the information you seek.</P>

 

thanks, ive got a question though and noene seems to give me the right answer, i just bought a 88' 5.0 HOhatctback, ive got 2.5" exaust, offroad h-pipe,cold air intake,70 mm throttle body, aluminum racing pullies, how many horses do u think im pushin

 

Depending on motor wear and such, I'd guess roughly 250-260 crank. 225-230 wheels.</P>


Just guessing though. <IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"></P>

 

lookin foward to replacin with a new motor soon,boosted, turbo, the only way to go

 

thanks man, someone else told me 220 at the crank, i thought they were on crank

 

It all still comes down to mileage and wear and tear though. I'm assuming relatively low miles on original or rebuild.</P>


The more miles or the harder it was run, the more likely your compression stinks and that can dump those numbers real quick.</P>


So 220 could very well be quite realistic.</P>

 

even with all of those mods, i am sure that the car was never run hard, it used to be a girls car, the guy rebuilt it for his girl and she never drove it, by the way i appreciate ur help

 

Welcome to the forums, congrats on the new ride

 

welcome aboard..I'd save about 15-20 hp gain..the better T/B is most likely hurting hp.. you need to add a bigger mass first..hope this helps
