Good, healthy numbers from a near stock set-up.

Nice starting point. Toss on some pulleys, 130 amp alt, elec fan and short belt and pick up another 15-20 hp.

I actually just bought a Cobra intake and 65mm throttle body for 250 bucks. So that and some pullys will be next.

I honestly would not do pullies. I have had mine on for two years and never really saw any difference. I am taking mine off this week cause they are causing problems with my idle and amps.

They only affect the amps if if have the orginal alternator. I have had mine on for years never had/have any issues. I changed alternator to '96 stang for better charging in general.

Notice, I mentioned upgrading the alternator in my post

Pullies are a cheap proven power maker on 5 liters.

Nice numbers, they were 225HP factory, so you didn't see too much lose.

I would do pullies. We installed them on my buddies 95GT and felt a difference. Most cars see 5-10RWHP. I would do what Grover Dill suggested on the E-fan. That frees up HP and rotating mass.
