Default RE: hp estimates

Stock=190 HP

MAC Catback - 3-5 rwhp
Throttle body - worthless without intake to match
CAI - 2-3 rwhp

So about 198 crank hp MAX right now.

Tuner - 8 or so rwhp
Gears and LSD don't add HP, just get off the line quicker
Headers - Depends, shorties=0 on a stock engine, LT's maybe a few HP.

So you'll probably end up with around 200 or so crank HP. To the wheels it will be less. I'm not sure how much.

Default RE: hp estimates

CAI - 3 rwhp
65mm TB - 0 rwhp, if you port matched your upper intake, maybe - 2 rwhp
exhaust - 3 rwhp
tuner - 8rwhp
udps - 6 rwhp
limited slip - 0 rwhp
headers - 1 rwhp

Assuming you have an auto you have roughly 160rwhp, after all that you'll probably be at around 180 rwhp, give or take 5 rwhp.

Exhaust isn't gonna give you 8 rwhp, maybe 5, but 8 is a little high for an N/A engine.

i saw a machine for an f150 that goes on the dash & tells you everything, hp torque & even a 0-60 test timer & 1/4 mile timer, but they dont have them for mustang.
