around 230 or so if you have all the usual bolt ons.

 

[1qckFOX]

to the wheels right? my mods are in the sig

 

[88stangmangt]

ya rwhp.

 

[1qckFOX]

SO that's what like 270 to the flywheel

 

[88stangmangt]

just add 10-15% To the rear wheel hp #'s

 

[IMissMy93Fox]

Yeah about that, stick sucks up a little less power than an auto though.

 

[88stangmangt]

^^ yup.

I was talking bout all motor, but hopefully you'r right

 

[willys1]

Yeah,I meant just motor,maybe its just me,but I see closer to 250!!

 

[noslow5_0]

i could see 245 to 250.....

 

[25thmustang]

I would say about 240 rwhp or so, always better to expect less...

Shouls run in the low 13s with traction!

no i think that is the 2003 cobra he has

 

[willys1]

no i think that is the 2003 cobra he has

you sure? I thought it said 89GT?

 

[redterror302]

you sure? I thought it said 89GT?

It does. The 2003 cobra is referring to his polished wheels I believe. With the mods in your sig, I would also say somewhere in the ballpark of 240 or so to the wheels. I believe your stock heads(if I didn't miss anything) are holding you back with your combo. Add a decent set, and I would say closer to about 275 to the wheels. Just a guess though.

5.0GT is totally on the mark I'd guess. Stock heads for these engines are pretty crappy for breathing, so a swap to a higher-flow set would really open up your engine's potential. Not bad for a pair of bolt-ons.
