Hey all, i just wanted to know if it is possible to reach 300hp without doing major work like FI, cams, heads, etc. What is the best and most legit way to reach 300hp?

 

[bandity2k00]

maybe at the crank with full bolt ons and tune, not at the rear wheels

 

[02gtmustang]

Eh... I don't know man...maybe with a really good tune a none ragged motor... LT headers mid pipe a good cat back good set of under drive pulleys after market plenum and a 70mm throttle body maybe even leave it stock and a good cold air intake... That's all I can think of I'm sure there's more tricks you can do I just can't think of

 

[bandity2k00]

and a trickflow intake wouldnt hurt since your flowing more out

 

[02gtmustang]

On 2nd thought..I don't see it..f8lgt has quite a few bolt ons...and isn't even close

 

[02gtmustang]

I'm not sure if the trick flow intake would help or hurt him....

 

[dannyboy281]

i doubt it look at my mods and i still not close to 300 rwhp i almost have every bolt on excluding UPD's and gears < which dont make any difference in hp just on acceleration

 

[F8L GT]

You wont acheive it unless you do cams. I find it hard to try and get 300rwhp with out at least doing cams

 

[02gtmustang]

What are you pushing danny boy?

 

[02gtmustang]

Hey there you are f8l I was just talking bout you lol...see OP check his sig

 

[BakerFX4]

not too sure because i havent dynoed it out yet, but i know its not 300 rwhp but im guessing maybe 265-270 rwhp and around 300 for torque if im lucky. I still need to do this the local mustang performance shop THR is going to give me 3 passes along with 3 SCT custom tunes for my stang for $100 since i bought the tuner from them. I just need to raise the cash to do it but right now my concern is my rear spoiler its oxidizing and looks bad i need to re-paint it or find some one who is willing to trade me and who will take some cash on top of the trade.

 

[BakerFX4]

some people still dont even with cams!

I have a white oem one off an 04 if youre interested in it :dunno.

ur not going to be able to get close without ATLEAST cams.. some ppl still dont hit 300 with cams.. head work cams and longtubes and you should be good to go..

 

[BakerFX4]

if you would have had an LS1 camaro/trans am then you could get close to 400rwhp with just a cam swap and headers prolly!

 

[Boostang]

^^^ yes sir.. but the cams for them i believe cost a good chunk.. dont quote me on that tho

 

[realrider88]

well how much does it cost to have cams installed? I know theyre about 600 for a pair to begin with.

 

[BakerFX4]

you can get the cams themselves cheaper than that though.
