Since he's off by a couple factors, tell him it's for sale and ask double what you think it's worth.

 

[SMOKEDYA]

Yeah your buddy is high! I'd say at the wheels about 240ish HP. peace

JT is giving your 'buddy' a much better deal than I would

 

[5spd GT]

Divide by 2, subtract 30, and multiply by .85 for an *estimate* on your RWHP.

[86gtriceeater]

i figured two fifty or three hundred just curious what you guys thought

 

[Fast63]

275 to the flywheel

 

[86gtriceeater]

thanks any suggestions on further mods something i dont have change multiple things one thing at a time? i already have 3:73 ford racing gears to go in...do you think those would be the best fit for my setup?

 

[vristang]

Aftermarket heads, cam, and intake would be next....


Maybe stroke the 302 or stroke a 351w...

 

[Flavadave4]

250 at the wheels

Intake and cam would really be the next steps for some bolt on power.

 

[wythors]

What are "86 5.0 cobra heads"? Stock E6's? And no cam? If that's the case, I'd say you're lucky if you're breaking the 220 mark to the rear wheels. A stock 5.0 with a manual tranny is right at 200.

 

[mavmavv]

230Rwhp if youre lucky.

 

[ShortThrow50]

i would say you have closer to 650hp to the wheels

 

[mustangfan1990]

i would say you have closer to 650hp to the wheels

lol well If your buddy says you have 600 rwhp or hell 600 at the crank then my car is busting around 1000rwhp hell yeah I like this world more power to ya

 

[ShortThrow50]

also, do you think your buddy can check out my list of mods and give me an estimate on how much hp i can expect when i got to the dyno in a couple weeks. THe mods are in my sig but ill also have a 10 psi s-trim and 42 pound injectors? thanks

 

[cenok is family]

600hp?! HAHAHAHAHAHA

you're closer to 220-235rwhp. you have no more than i do man, and before i pulled my 24# injectors for some 19's, i dynoed 228rwhp and 279rwtq on a dynojet with a 10.0:1 a/f. since the injector switch, i can definitely tell i picked up some of that lost power

 

[57fairlane]

I think the answer has already been stated . . .

If you have to ask if the motor has 600 flywheel horsepower, it ain't got 600 flywheel . . .

That's gotta be a sig line for somebody.

Instant classic.
