I put this post in '94-'95 section but thought I might get better responses here.
Mods please delete if double posting is not allowed


I am an automotive instructor in Miramar, FL. We just acquired a '95 Mustang with a 351 c.i. engine with Trick Flow heads and intake, Tremec trans, 31 spline rear, 3:73 gears. This car looks like it was put together great but not maintained properly for the past 5 years or more. It still runs strong.

I am going to have the students do a compression test on it before we pull it out to go through it. The car was painted saphire blue but they did not do the engine compartment so I will have the students pull the engine to freshen it up and send the car out to be painted.

Questions:

What kind of horsepower should i expect with short tube headers and 3 inch exhaust?
What kind of gaskets do you guys use? Are the Mr Gasket ultra seals good enough or do I need bigger port gaskets for the Trick Flow heads and intake?

I would say 350RWHP.

If they are trick flow TW. They are setup to run the fel-pro 1250.

The ultra seals should be good if you don't plan on running boost or nitrous. I use Fel Pro Loc Wires on mine but I have pretty high compression and nitrous. 350 hp sounds about right for that combo.
