If your asking how much a stock 99-00 Mustang V6 make to the wheels, then your loking at about 160-170 RWHP I'm not sure about TQ but they should be making anywhere from 190-200 TQ. Someone want to clarify this for me? I plan to dyno my car whenI feel like its worth knowing [sm=gobble.gif]

here are the Flywheel numbers

Horsepower 190 @ 5250 rpm
Torque 220 @ 2750 rpm

close numbers. depending on if it is an automatic transmission or a manual will determine actual RW numbers. automatics lose more power on the way to the wheels than manuals do. subtract 15% or so from what is cranked out and you will get an estimate of RW numbers.

01-04 mustangs have 3 more hp than 99-00. differences include different crank pulley design and minor intake changes.

99-00 v6= 190hp, 01-04 v6= 193hp at the flywheel. you lose hp to the wheels through the drive line.

i bet they all still put down pretty much the same exact RW numbers though.
