I posted in your welcome thread about what you should have.
Depends on your transmission too:
Auto= 168rwhp stock
Manual= 180rwhp stock
If you have a manual I would imagine your putting down something like 195-200 rwhp.

210 is the Brake Horse Power. You lose some of that horsepower at the flywheel, which then measures into Rear Wheel Horse Power. So you may have 210 BHP, but you really will have around 170 RWHP.
The best tuner is either the Xcal tuner or the Diablosport tuner. Check out www.brenspeed.com for tuners/tunes.

You should check out places like BAMA, Brenspeed, and VMP since they specialize in Mustangs. Doug at BAMA does wonders for those of us with Automatics. 210 is the base HP at the crank, by the time it reaches the wheels its 160-180 depending what kind of transmission you've got....I'm not gonna act like I know what I'm talking about but, thats how I know it LOL you should lookinto some gears as well for some extra GO...3.73s are perfect IMO

o and one more question..... me and my friends installed my jba shorties.... but when im at a stop at a red light and pressing on the breaks i hear a rattle from the engine. im assuming its a loose gasket am i right??? cuz the check engine light is not on or nothing so i am not too worried about... my guess is the metal got so hot that it shrunk a lil bit which is why i had to re torque it in a week or so... so would that be it??
