is it a 5 speed or AOD? IF a 5 speed you are looking at 192RWHP with everything hooked up...given 15% drivetrain loss...with an AOD you're looking at 180RWHP with 20% drivetrain loss with everything hooked up...With that in mind I say your mods are worth 20RWHP...so just add that to the rear wheels...You're not gaining HP just freeing up HP so saying you have 250 HP would be incorrect...it's at the rear wheels that counts...

right...

i know its not a gain, freeing up increases my effective HP, and the 225 is rated at the flywheel, so thats what i was using as my basis...
its a T5z with a posi 8 inch rear
