What kind of power would i get out of this set up?

Outlaw5.0 · February 16th, 2011, 08:42 PM

I recently got a bunch of stuff in some trades and i was wondering what kind of HP and ETs i could get with all of it.

89 Mustang gt:
GT40 heads
headman long tube headers
off road H-pipe
65mm throttle body
80mm MAF with 24# injectors
rear seat delete
underdrive pullies
drag springs with the air bag in one of them

im not expectin any major power gains out of it just would like to know what it would make. i know i could use a new intake and cam. i plan on getting a holley systemax or similar intake and a nice cam soon.

So what kinda HP numbers and ETs would come out of all of these parts? Anyone have any suggestion on something i can get to complement these parts for better numbers?

also forgot subframe connectors and a redneck ram air setup (replaced stock air filter with one from a ram air setup and left stock tubing and everything).

What trans? and slicks would help!

Outlaw5.0 · February 16th, 2011, 09:15 PM

sorry its an AOD trans. and this is a street car so slicks wont cut it but i do plan on getting some nitto drag radials in the near future.

KLG73 · February 16th, 2011, 09:28 PM

idk on hp but I would say mid to lower 14's maybe high 13's...

Honestly I think the heads would be restricted by intake. I would not upgrade one without the other. Add at least a GT40 intake. With a AOD car your 1st upgrade should be gears! you put some 4.10s in a stock 5.0 HO and you will think its the best money you ever spent.

since my car is a daily driver how would 4.10s affect driveability around town? what about 3.73s?

i would love to have 4.10s but i dont know if they would affect droveability too much.

Some people I have talked to local said they improved gas mileage with a AOD and 4.10s. I am planning on doing this with mine this spring. Ever notice in your AOD at 85 your only tacking like 2500 rpms lol. the 4.10s let you wind out your gears a little more esp the OD.

uhhh No. Your smoking crack look the 410s are a good gear set for the aod... It does not improve gas milage I went from 18 to about 16 around town.... Lost about 2 mpg thats driving normal, if your not gonna do alot of freeway driving get the 410s man you will love them if you drive the freeway alot get 355s....

1989Gt. · February 17th, 2011, 03:13 AM

AdderMk2 · February 17th, 2011, 08:30 AM

then its not going to work with his car and the 24# injectors

gotn20 · February 17th, 2011, 02:24 PM

you got a decent start with the suspension. Stuff I'd do a t5 swap next or a stall as those trannys kill me

Outlaw5.0 · February 19th, 2011, 05:01 PM

im gonna be stayin with the AOD. i would love a t5 but i wouldnt be able to do the swap. there will eventually be a built AOD though. and thanks for the help ive decided to get 4.10 since i rarely ever go on the freeway.

list of parts to order now:
4.10s
Nitto drag radials
a good intake
and a better CAI
