Wassup guys. I've been around Stangnet for a while now, and 2 valve Mustangs even longer, but never the 5.0s. I've got a quick question about a 5.0.
My granddad has a Iris Metallic 94 5.0 5-speed vert. Off topic, but it was actually this car that first got me into Mustangs about 5 years ago. It's got: mild self-ported and polished stock heads, E303 cam, Cobra intake (or at least it says Cobra on top of it, and is definitely not the stock one), cold air intake, underdrive pulleys, long tube headers, offroad H, and Flows. Although they don't affect power, it also has a Steeda (I think) short throw shifter and 3.73s. He asked me the other day how much power I thought it made. (He bought the car with all this work done to it, and actually never asked how much power it made or if the previous owner even knew.) I had no idea. I figured you guys could help me out.
I don't know if it has been tuned. It drives and runs great, so I'm thinking that it most likely has had at least a little tuning. I've always heard that a mild HCI 5.0 with full bolt ons will make around 300 hp, but my granddad also has a stock 04 Mach 1, and honestly, I think the Mach would beat it. The 5.0 definitely has tons more torque, but the Mach pulls so much harder up top. And I've always read that the Machs make 275ish in stock form (his is an auto).
So, ballpark figure of the horsepower/torque? I'm thinking 250-260ish horsepower and maybe 315 torque.
