I noticed a few 5.0's making 190whp to 230whp with a ok list of bolt on type mods, even a couple rebuilt, slightly larger bore engines only making 230 to 250whp. But in the same sense I noticed alot of these numbers not seeming right with the track times and trap speeds they are listing. I mean I'm new to the fox body and ford game but are these numbers not a bit low? I am getting my 89 LX SSP in a couple days and plan on running it on a dyno for baseline numbers if I can find a dyno place around here(I live in TN but am visiting my mother in Idaho). But permited I find a dyno close to me what should I expect, elevation is fairly high out here(4000 to 5000 feet) and I dont want to sound pessamistic but am I going to have my feeling hurt?
I had a 94 M6 Formula then a C5 M6 and both dyno'd over what they should have stock.(265whp for the LT1 and 325whp for the LS1). I am by nomeans hating or anything because I love the idea of having/modding my SSP so dont take it that way but how hard is it going to be to make it a solid 13 second car w/o a power adder and a 12 second car with spray?
