Yeah, you're correct, but we're arguing about horsepower figures, which really has nothing to do (technically) with our discussion.

wow nice reted, not to be a complete internet *** but he is definitly not afraid to speak the truth....

now what if i add a performance sticker?
15hp? (unsure on exact outputs on this mod)

hehe j/k no flames please

 

So? Can I rip out my whole interior and claim a 50 hp increase? I think not...

 

Damn, whose pic is that both of you guys are using on the left???
I don't have a 30" monitor, so I can't check out the chicks!&nbsp Anyone got a bigger picture???

Get a time and dyno sheet to back it up. This is turning into a Honda Civic post. "I can do this and I can do that" Well get your numbers and let us see it. Not trying to doubt you, but a guy with bridgetport only did 222hp. I think it will be kind of hard to match that. Turbo might be heavy, but by what, 100-200lbs? Those extra 20 hp would take care of that

 

thats my pic at an import show in seattle, felix is trying to copy me be pasting in his pic

 

I was there, he keeps cutting me out of the pic....

 

Back to the thread topic

I have a friend that has a 90 5.0 we dropped a new engine into it and had it dynoed at a local mustang shop. It dynoed at 183 hp at the wheels on basicly a stock motor. I think he step up a tiny bit on the cam and went with roller stuff but basicly stock. After dumping tons of bolt ons he was saying he shoud be near 350 hp at the ground. When he got it dynoed he was only at 278 at the wheels. Not even 100 hp gain for all his effort.

The moral of this story is that just cause a mod is good for X hp doesn't mean its gonna make that in combination with other mods. The effects of various bolt ons are not always cumulative. Besides 1.3liters can only breathe just so hard (unfourtunatly).

 

Exactly.

 

Those gurls are not bad looking!

If your familiar with Grassroots Motorsports magazine then your familiar with there rospit project. They took a Triumph Spitfire and put a fuel injected engine built by Craig Nagler of Tri-Point Engineering and still got only 225 HP out of it. The engine was half bridge ported and was using an aftermarket injection controller. I can only imagine they would have done the same if it were possible. We autocrossers are very thrifty at spending the least amount of money to get the most performance out of our cars. I can't imagine you getting close to that at the rear tires. Maybe 170 or so if your lucky. Very lucky. Lets see some dyno slips to make us believers.
