190ish.........

 

[maverick0716]

Usually 180-190 hp

Does it go lower everytime someone replies?

I'd believe 185-190 is usual, on horsepower tv they dynoed a sn95 5.0 and got 160 some horsepower.

Yea...round that.

Sounds about right... they use a Mustang dyno...

What is the deal with the "mustang" dynos.....i sure as hell wouldn't want my car dynoed on one if they read way less hp....because then your comparisons to other cars/engines won't be very accurate.

 

[super302]

It depends if it a slushbox or a manual, manual=185ish, auto=170ish or lower.

IMHO, dynos are good for one session, multi-pull tuning. even the amount of strap ratcheting can make a difference - hence the one session theory. now compare different dynos and it gets crazy.

they are great for relative tuning, but not absolute.
my two cents.

I think the mustang dyno is better for tuning your car.

I am sure condition of the engine has to do with it. Unless rebuilt or replaced all 5.0 mustang's engines are at least 9 years old and who know's how many miles.

Who cares about numbers, unless your a bench racer. I'd rather see accuracy. Like said before, it's a tuning tool, but some think it's a race track.
