How much horsepower does my car have

VanHall · April 28th, 2007, 11:32 PM

I have a 2002 mustang gt with a functional shaker hood and i
have Eh Magnaflow exhaust just wondering how much horsepower
my car has and torque if anyone could guess

MustangMatt96GT · April 28th, 2007, 11:36 PM

RWHP my guess is 232 HP and 259 TQ

VanHall · April 28th, 2007, 11:37 PM

now when you say rwhp is that diff from regular horsepower because that number sounds kinda slow if so what is the regular one

MustangMatt96GT · April 28th, 2007, 11:40 PM

From the factory you have 260 HP at the flywheel. Drivetrain loss is about 15% so the flywheel hp lessened by about 15% will give you close to the actual horsepower at your rear wheels (RWHP)! hope that helps!

yess that does thanks alot is there anything that willl get me about 300

MustangMatt96GT · April 28th, 2007, 11:44 PM

Cams will benefit you a lot but you will probably not see 300 with just that! This is a debateable question and everybody has a different opinion!

VanHall · April 28th, 2007, 11:49 PM

do u know a site to get a good deal on cams and how long does it normally take to put them in and what about if a get new gears and pullys how would that all be for speed

MustangMatt96GT · April 29th, 2007, 12:01 AM

You would have a nice ride! But there are so many possibilies on cams and everything you will just have to search around! www.vtengines.com has always been a good place thou!

Putting cams in is a little easier in our cars because of the overhead, but you'll still have to pull off the front timing cover to change them out. I read somewhere that you can do it without pulling the cover by tilting the cams but that sounds really iffy to me..

I did it the first time leaving the timing cover on. I used the afm cam retention tool. Some people had trouble using it, I didn't. You can't just tilt the cam. Something needs to go between the auto tensioner and the guide or it closes up and pulls down on the cam gear. Plus you need to make sure you keep tention on the chain so it doesn't slip a tooth.
