How Many Ponies??

[ChargedUp]

until I find a dyno what y’all experts think it’s gonna do? I just got the car on a trade and am not certain of ALL the mods done. What I do know is it’s 2000 gt with a manual transmission, strut and unibody connectors, Paxton NOVI 2000 pushing up to 12 lbs I measured on gauge. BBK 78mm throttle body, high flow fuel pump, high flow injectors, x pipe cat delete with stainless mufflers. Accell cops, ????

It’s the fastest car I have owned so no way to really judge the power. I will say it wants to rip the 285 Nittos off in 1st 2cd and 3rd gear. I have read varied dyno reports from 360 to 406 with less boost and less mods so I am hoping for around 450hp. Any insight is appreciated.

Oh yeah it has a custom tune on it from a highly recommended guy/shop apparently. It doesn’t knock and runs amazing so I vouche for him

375-400 depending on the dyno. You're going to need long tubes, cams, and maybe some head work to get up to 450 unless it's just a freak.

That being said mine only "puts down" 410 through an auto on 10/11lbs but runs 11.45@119. So a dyno is just a tuning tool and I wouldn't put much stock into it.

I'd guess 380-400 rwhp but it really depends on how aggressive the tune is.

I read long tube headers are no good. I’m going with some shortys that will bolt right up hopefully. How would I know if it already has a cam in it? Any way to tell?

Isn’t she sexy?

I read long tube headers are no good. Not sure how accurate that is. I’m going with some shortys that will bolt right up hopefully. How would I know if it already has a cam in it? Any way to tell?

Not accurate at all, a PITA to install especially with an AT but will be much more efficient than shorty's.
The only way I have heard to be sure is remove a valve cover and check the cam numbers. An expert should chime in with a better way maybe.
Nice looking ragtop!

Thanks for the input.

Don't waste you're money and time with shorties. Long tubes will make power. For an auto run Mac as they fit best.
