Hey guys ,

I'm wondering what everyone thinks I have a 90 5.0 just ordered the twisted wedge package with cam intake heads and all that , I have a set of for race headers on the car now 24lb injectors and mega squirt standalone I'm just wondering what everyone thinks I will be pushing as far as horsepower is concerned I will be finishing the install this week and hopefully Dino in the next week or two , so any ideas?

Around 325-340hp (flywheel)

What are your race headers? 1.625" I hope...

I was guessing around 320-340 with that setup and a good tune like I said I am running a mega squirt standalone and in the next few weeks I do plan on having it dunno tuned. As far as the headers I'm not sure what they are I bought the car like that I just know they are ford race because they have the plate riveted on

If they are Ford Racing Shorty headers they will most likely be a 1.625" header, could be equal or unequal length...a photo will tell me right away.
