I had my '88 LX 5.0 Mustang dyno tuned this afternoon to get some baseline numbers before I start modding for more HP. Thought some of you might be interested in the results for a near original, low mile car. (The only engine mods so far are BBK cold air intake, shorty unequal length headers and off-road H-pipe and Dynomax cat-back system. Transmission is AOD with a Lentech valve body and TCS 2800 RPM stall speed torque converter.) Peak prior to tuning was 186 HP. After the tune it's 194 HP/241 TQ. Want to get it to 300HP. Think I'll get there with head-cam-intake work?

Absolutely, my friends 94 Cobra on a Crane cam with 1.7s, Holley Systemax II intake and Edelbrock heads 1.94 valves and 1.6 exhaust put down 298 respectively, IIRC.

What kind of tune?
Chip or fuel pressure/timing?

[GHL]

Tune was done with a programmable chip. Ultimately replaced the '88 code with one from 1993.

Thanks for the post! My car is almost exact to your "stock" setup.

That sounds right on for an auto trannied car. Good luck with your build.
