can I get 300-325 fwhp without a cam swap?

If you do a cam, count on computer problems and be sure to save some more cash for a chip.
If you go w/1.7 lifters & no cam, you'll be OK w/heads & intake alone.

I always thought FWHP = flywheel Horse Power right? or does that now mean front wheel?

These days .......... who knows

When I got back into this hobby things had changed since the days of points in the dizzy and carbs

I never had any interest in imports other than to use them for gas savings. I had not considered them for performance or knew nothing about them for that application.

For a good while ... I did not know the younger members on the various boards were talking about a piece of pipe when they used the word ... Intake

I've always used the word .......... Intake

when talking about the .............. Intake Manifold

FWHP = Front Wheel Horsepower
RWHP = Rear Wheel Horsepower
BHP = Brake Horse Power (Flywheel horsepower)

FWHP = Front Wheel Horsepower

BHP = Brake Horse Power (Flywheel horsepower)

I hear BHP all the time in this one TV car show from England/Europe (BBC). I think Austrailia uses the term BHP too. Make sense now that imports are on the scene.

I wasn't sure what BHP was until the new 05 Mustang was mentioned as having 300 brake horsepower. I figured that BHP was some goofy euro conversion until then.
