typical "how much i got" question

mustangdan · May 9th, 2007, 11:16 PM

yeah so living in bfe never helps and there isnt a dyno for at least 200 miles from here. just a guess what kinda numbers you think im pulling? 289 c code. rated at 200hp. adde a 600 cfm elec choke carb, shelby tri-y ceramic headers, pertronix ignition, performer dual plane alum intake and a k&n filter.

the only diff in hp ( per my original owners manual) in the c code and a code(4brl carb) was 25hp. 25hp from a 2-4brl carb swap? if so great, if not then what? so what be your guy's opinion on my guestumated hp nubers.

then what if i add a mild cam and ported/polished heads?

thanx

btw you think a carb spacer would help any?

Did you change the cam? If not, do it.

no, not yet. you think i will make that much of a diff? hp dont really matter to me as much as being able to kick rice ass in my local town. i ran neck and neck once with a 97 cobra once on hwy95. we were dead nuts the whole way froma 50mph roll. thats decent i hope. right?

Pretty surprising since he probably has 50 rwhp on you. The 4V Cobras really shine at higher rpms also.

My guestimate for your 289 with 4 barrel is 190 rwhp. That is with a manual tranny. For an auto it would be less.

well idk what it was but it was the 96-98 body, black and cobra badging. eitehr way i ran neck and neck for about 3 block, then i turned into my street.

now you are saying 4brl. i also have headers, igntion, and dual plane high rise intake. does that stuff not make a diff at all? or is your guess of 190 with all that?

and the fact im lighter? maybe that helps? im 2820lbs as to a 97 boby at 3191. thats almost 400lbs diff.
