225ish

92Notch · July 29th, 2010, 01:50 AM

Rated at like 225hp and 300ft lbs trq?

Similarly, the 89 lx 5.0 is said to have those same stats, what type of power would the 5.0 lx be putting out with the following mods on a rebuilt engine w/65,000 miles;

- B Series Cam
- Ported Stock Heads
- H pipe
- Dual Flows
- 3" Exhaust
- Rebuilt T5 Tranny
- *Underdrive Pullies (not installed yet)

tnx!

245hp lol

Exile · July 29th, 2010, 04:17 AM

are you serious? a gain of "15hp"? lol

FastStang91Lx · July 29th, 2010, 06:42 AM

Yeah... Ported stock heads are worthless, and the 3 in exhaust is prolly hurting more than it's helping. The cam isn't good for much, and the underdrives only help if they are on the car. Lastly, by my math, that's 20 hp gain, not 15.

horsepowerjunkie · July 29th, 2010, 08:24 AM

The 85's were rated at 205 stock. Your mods should give you 250-270 flywheel. 3" exhaust? are you sure? Most Mustang stuff is 2 1/2"!
That 3" is pretty expensive and way overkill!

JBIGBOOTSY · July 29th, 2010, 08:47 AM

Ima say 180-190 at the tire with 260ish lbft.

CurtisW · July 29th, 2010, 08:58 AM

why can't you just ask him?

jkeyz · July 29th, 2010, 09:12 AM

I agree with jbig,, about 190 to the tire,, the hp ratings were inflated when they came out

flyin ryan · July 29th, 2010, 10:20 AM

im going to say 14.5-15 second quarter mile time slip
