Your stock 260hp mustang should have more power than that if its a stick. You should lose about 15% through the drivetrain. Obviously the driveshaft, catback, tri-ax and CAI arent going to do anything for power. If you are going to buy all these at once, I suggest you skip it and buy a blower. Much better way to spend your money.
Basically you'd be buying a midpipe, pulleys and a tune. That should net around 20rwhp.

yes its a manual. okay and add to that VT stage 1 cams....
what HP will i be at then???


If you get it tuned....should be around 250+/290ish. Stock you should be around 220rwhp/275rwtq, so with those mods and the stage 1s with a good tune it shouldnt be too far off...

Kinda low there i think. Exhaust alone will put the car over 220 and then the pullies will add maybe 5-7 more rwhp along with the programmer helping out too. If you calculate in the cams, id say youd get a good 35rwhp+ gain after a tune.
 
My 5spd car dynoed 225rwhp stock with 3000 on the clock.

If the car finishes breaking in you shold be up near 240 tops.

I hope to break out of 240 with:
Densecharger
75mm Accufab
C&L Plenum
Magnapack
Catted X
Predator Tune
RP fluid though out
Denso Plugs

Car also has 4.10s and MGW but they don't add power :)
 
so when i get the stage 1 cams, i need a tune?? 1-what will happen if i installed the stage 1 cams without a tune and left it as a daily driver withought a tune???
2- Can i tune it myself when i get the VT stage 1 cams ( predator or SCT Xcalibrator2 will work for tuning the stage 1 cams)???

Ahh. No, get a tune. Definately save and spend to get to the tine... can't be all that much, plus it'll be worth it. I don't know about the predator or any other tuner being able to do that... couldn't hurt to look into it.
 
Your 5-speed should be about 220hp (mayb a tad bit more) stock. With the listed mods, I'd say anywhere from 230-240, depending on conditions during dyno.

I agree. And this is the route I'm taking. It's kind of discouraging seeing guys (especially those with autos) have just about every bolt on you can think of, but putting down only 230hp.
