    Hey guys, first time in the 4.6 section but I need some advice. Im looking at a 96 GT that has a full PI swap and want to know what kinda power this car will make.
    Here are the mods.
    2001 PI Heads W/BBK valve covers
    PI intake
    Pacesetter long tube headers W/ X-Pipe
    Flowmaster mufflers
    Prof. Products upper intake
    Splitfire Plugs (not even installed yet)
    70mm MAC throttle body
    24# injectors
    80mm Mass Air Flow
    Cold air intake
    Steeda Tri-Ax short shifter
    3:73 rear gears
    2003 Mustang GT rims
    Brand new Hydroboost with all new hydraulic lines
    New Interior:seats,door panels,rear panels,center console
    White face gauges
    5" Autometer Monster tach W/ shiftlite
    clear headlights

    The owner says that with good driving the car could be in the 12.8-13.1 range. What do you think. I also have a nitrous kit I will be putting on it from my fox,what should it run on 100 shot. Thanks.

    I guess the driver would be important, but my guess is mid 13's on street tires. With slicks and some weight reduction, maybe... MAYBE high 12's trapping like 105

    It's got TB/Plenum, Longtubes, midpipe, catback, 3.73's, CAI and it's pi swapped. prolly putting down around 270 rwhp

    Though I could be wrong.

    That seems to be a pretty genorous #. Unless it has a new shortblock with no miles then I would guess high 13's right around where I am at. Depends on the tune and the driver.

    But I have been wrong before.

    I agree with these guys, that car should run mid 13's. You'll prolly be able to run 12's with the shot and some good driving.

    yeah, mid 13's and lower 13's w/ a good driver and some good rubber. I'd say 260hp and 285tq
