TurboLX · April 6th, 2007, 08:54 AM

well all the stock 5 liters came with 225hp

marks87gt · April 6th, 2007, 11:29 AM

and 300 ftlbs of tq

Thanks guys for the info. I'm getting it checked in a couple of weeks.
Hopefully the hp will be close to that. Then i have to figure out what first mod to start with. Probably work on the exhaust/try to get the sound!

Classic Fox 'Stang sound is gonna be Flowmaster 40's, "H" pipes and dumps... FYI...

Oh and go w/ long tube headers...

If you mean by gettint your car "tested" You mean a dyno? If so remember those stock hp numbers mentioned before is flywheel hp not rear wheel hp. Prob see 160-180 hp to the wheels at the most in total stock and by total I mean not even the air silencer being removed in the intake...

gt-stang · April 11th, 2007, 11:42 PM

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by flywheel hp, and yes, by testing i mean on the dyno. Also , a downer from the start, a new 2007 v6 has the same or more hp than my 92 5.0. Am i figuring this right?

Thanks for the advice on the exhaust. Will the flowmaster 40's, h pipes and dumps and lontube headers give the car the deep rumble? Newbie

Flywheel hp is the hp that is generated at the flywheel. When you get a dyno tune done it is rear wheel hp . If a car has 400hp that transalates to approx 340-360 rear wheel hp there is always loss from the trans driveshaft rearend ect... A manual trans has less hp loss than an automatic..

only 87-92 mustangs have 225 horsepower. 93 they drop them back to 205 hp

Ur 92 has 225hp stock.

Kingcater · April 12th, 2007, 07:40 PM

93 Engines were the same as 92 and older save for the forged internals.....the only difference is that Ford switched the way they rate hp/tq that is why you see a decrease in hp/tq or so I've been told

marks87gt · April 12th, 2007, 07:51 PM

right, and pre 87 was 205hp? right?

Speedstang302 · April 12th, 2007, 08:02 PM

yes...but it depends...if it is a cobra or a saleen they all made different numbers...but the LX and GT made roughly the same horsepower...even though i've heard that the LX 302 is actually a little stronger than the GT, go figure...cuz the GT was the ALL options mustang

86blkmustang · April 12th, 2007, 09:14 PM

I gave a web site adress for yal to look at

There is no difference between the GT & LX motors...
