I purchased the following parts and wanted to know what horsepower to expect.
I have a stock mustang 5.0 with an automatic. Here is a list of parts I purchased

- Mac 70mm TB and EGR spacer
- C&L 73mm MAF Tube
- Edelbrock Performer 5.0 intake
- BBK Fender Cold Air Intake
- BBK 190 LPH Fuel Pump
- BBK Equal Length Headers
- Ford Tall Valve Covers (atleast 100 HP with these valve covers right........lol)


What else could I add that would help out? Thanks Travis

You may need to do ECM/ECU tuning because that computer's not going to take to well with those. You are ok but what I'm saying is you might want to adjust your Air/Fuel or you might be running the same or just a tad bit faster, you might not even see a difference.
