yep, the guy that bought my car already knew about all the stuff that was on my new motor, and he was aware of what a deal I got for it

Did you ever get all your stuff installed into the GT before you got rid of it? Didn't you have heads/cams etc waiting to go in?
I must say, I don't know anyone with non-ported heads and the stock intake making that kinda HP. Very impressive!!TGJ said:I never did have much respect for MM&FF. They print to much bull ****.
I do find it strange that I know guys that made 260+ RWHP with NPI heads, comp NPI cams and NPI plastic intake, all naturally aspirated. I also know of people who made over 300+ RWHP with NPI heads, PI intakes and comp PI cams, all naturally aspirated. These cars were not mustangs, they were TBirds that have 4R70W auto transmissions and IRS. That means they lose more power to the wheels than even an 4R70W auto equipped mustang does.
Hmmm...I dyno'd at 230 on a Mustang Dyno in my 145K mile, NPI 96. A guessimate on a Dynojet would put me over 236? I'm not close to the end of bolt-ons since long tubes and a port and polish of the heads could net another 25-30.EPIKGT said:Glad i got rid of my 96 GT auto, and stepped up to a 97 cobra coupe. It cost way to much $$$ to ever make a 96-98 gt fast, all the money u spend on mods, u could just pick up a 96-98 cobra and its already fast stock. Recentley in "Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords" magazine they built up a non pi stang with pretty much everything you could bolt on besides a supercharger, and I think they might have ported the heads too, and they maxed out at only 236 hp to the rear wheels. Thats not worth it if you ask me, because it would probably cost a few grand just to get those results.

Its already known that its a good idea to get a dyno tune or have a mail order chip installed.AntiRice98 said:Ok. I just got a set of comp cams installed in my car...the car sounds sweet and i bounce in my seat when im sitting at a light, and according to dyno results gave me a strong 30hp to the wheels...however to make your GT run faster than a civic after getting the cams in you have to have your car chiped, becuase the stock computer cannot keep up with the cams and is not throughing gas down the valves at the right time...the chip well set you back another 400 if you have it done right...i didn't know about that, but by the time i found out i need a chip it was too late...however the good side to the chip is it adds another 15-20 hp on top of the 30 the cams gave you...just thought i'de let everone know...
Ah Ok! I thought maybe there was a power secret that I wasn't aware of!TGJ said:In my above thread the NPI heads were ported. That said, I know of cars that made over 300 RWHP with NPI heads( ported ), comp PI cams and a plastic PI intake, naturally aspirated.
Don't give up man. When all my parts are in my 96 GT, I'll have about 270rwhp if not more. I'll have about $10,000 in the car including the cost of the car itself and labor, and my car only had 55k miles on it when I bought it. Around here a 96 cobra with 100k miles on it still goes for about $9500, and that's private party. Not to mention that when you start beating people, you can say "Yea, and I did it with an N/A 2v." Just my 2 cents.zerosgt said:All I'm saying is that it's really hard to rock the car I've wanted since I was in highschool when I'm getting beat up by Si civics and modded out little ricers left and right. It's hard to swing a dead cat at the track up here and not tag a turboed B18 civic up here or something worse. I'm beginning to think the short throw and the CAI will be my last mods.

zerosgt said:Thanks, that looks like a bookmark link right there. So how involved is this? How long did it take?
