Splitport swap 190hp
Non-PI GT swap 215hp

btw not bashing your swap, its dollar for dollar, horsepower and weight mine came out to about 235-245hp at the engine.

Of course all you need is a PI swap and you toast mine and your only a few hundred away from that so alls fair as far as that goes.

This package included everything I needed to change my mustang into a GT with the exception of the rear end. All for about $2000. Between the mods, the wiring, and the headaches of getting everything together, staying with a V6 was much harder. Everything for the V8 was just remove and install. I'm not saying that it isn't alot of work... but it's worth looking into if you can manage to do it. It took me 7 days and I love the gains! Let us know how it works out.
