I was supposed to get 25 hp with my exhaust, 8 hp with the cai, and at least 15 with the tuner...so I should have like 240 hp. More like I have 200, maybe.
id even doubt that, 170+5+2+8=185

I'm talking crank power...screw rear wheel cuz that's not even believable with crank ratings! It sucks that the companies BS you so much...

Mustang man, I hate to tell you, but a cai creates a little more than 2 hp, even for a six that is really low, I'd say 5-7 is a little more reasonable and for the duals with a great set up 7-12 rwhp because if your numbers were correct then my car would be running slower then 99+ auto V6s and I know that I can beat them because I've done it, I'm thinking I have about 160-170 rwhp, it's just those damn gears that hurt so bad now.[:@] Nexmex, I'd say you have about 220-230 hp off the flywheel.

Yep. He had a FLOWMASTER catback and put down 400rwhp. a FILTER got him to 425.

They tore the car apart looking for other mods/chip and couldn't find any.

I think the confusing thing is that people are assuming he had 390HP AT THE CRANK form the factory when in reality cobras usually dyno higher than they "should". And dyno's are mostly for comparing / tuning one run to another. Too many variables to say "this car has this much HP, bar none, end of discussion."

well i thought you were getting a cobra? and a CAI adds a little power, but not that much to a V-6, if it was a 24 V and DOHC it would respond better to mods, but its not so it doesnt. And about those damn gears you got, i guess that just means you got to put in 4.10s. im still debating weather i wanna swap out my rear end so i can go 4.30s but i think that will be too much money.

Well I'm still waiting for my grandmother to have her surgery, so the Cobra is on hault, but still a possibilty, so I'm just playing it out as if I won't get the car. So in other words, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

did anyone get a baseline run before they dropped in the filter. Fords are very conservative about thier HP ratings. 03-04 bras are actually about 390-400 at the wheels factory.....
