Regular or advertised horsepower is measured at the flywheel, and is the figure quoted by dealers in sales brochures and advertisements. Rear wheel horsepower is always lower than that measured at the flywheel due to drivetrain losses.

and im betting harv will hit 200 rwhp, the autos suck, but atleast mine doesnt suck that bad as long as O/D is off, im only about a fender or door off a stick from a stop

Umm. how do you figure that? My buds 00 is almost as slow as my car, man you must of been racing a crappy shifter to only be a door behind him.

and before i hear crap about that, the e-breaks when speeds dont lock the wheels, they only slow down, cause i do it all the time when theres a cop so there is no nose dive or break lights

so what kind of 0-60 times am i looking at with 1200$ of mods and what my max horsepower prolly going to be around?
thanks Joe
P.S. and not to sound retarded lol but what did you mean by i hope your stang is standard

And he was refering to you having a standard transmission. The autos are a little slower. But with a DiabloSport or SCT tuner, you can get much better transmission rersponse.
EDIT...
Stock RWHP on a 99+ V6 stang is about 160 RWHP..

but what will be the best SCT tuner to get that will also help with the gear ratios, to improve acceleratrions with an auto.

Mine SHOULD be about 200-210 RWHP since the last mods. I haven't been to the dyno since. 0-60, not sure.

Well please tell me you have a standard, because if you don't it will take a little work, and a nice deal of cash, to free up an auto, this is why I'm really considering a GT or a Cobra, but check out my sig, I have about 2K invested in my car, but my cats cost just as much as yellows whole exhaust, so that's why my setup, is a little more expensive, although I still think its because he can't add, I'm thinking he really has about 2.5K, but maybe he managed to get some really sweet deals, damn Harvey, what a playa.

your best bet for more power and acceleration is a nice, big cam, 4.10s and a detroit locker. an easy 15 rwhp.
