low 300s at 12 psi. On a strong reman and newer stock twins, my dad dynoed at 290 with dp, cb, intake and pfs box at 12 psi. You've basically got a 12 second car there .

To be honest with you,

You should really dyno your car if you plan to give an estimated HP as a selling point.

You never know, the person who bought the car might actually dyno it and have it come out much less (a hose could pop off after the sale). And then you are in for legal problems. Even if you sell it as is... (gray area since one could argue false advertisement).

But this is just me I'm very weary of people and I take every possible step to avoid a future problem. It only takes a few bucks and couple of hours to dyno you car. Well worth the time and money.

I fully agree with this point. If I'm planning to purchase a car and the seller advertises a HP figure as a selling point, I would want to see some factual proof and not just an estimate. I would even probably be discouraged that the point was even brought up if there were nothing on paper to back it up.

On a different note, why are you selling the car, if you don't mind me asking?

10psi w/stock cat M2 stage 3 (all the stage 3 stuff, DP, CB, intake and IC) 250-260rwhp.

12psi w/high flo cat, yeah I'd estimate 275-285rwhp.

well a supra tt passed my on i95(not racing) and i got to thinking about how i almost bought one before my last fd.I am a rx7 lover but honestly thought the supra tt was the baddest car for my $$ and someday i would get one. I cant figure out the mkt on fds.Some cars should fetch more $$ than others,like that red 95 on ebay now.I think it only pulled 20.6 k last time .But the guy who just got over 28 k for his. I am curious to see what mine can get.I know one thing its not leaving my driveway for less than 23K.

your right about the dyno, but it sure feels like my car has more rear wheel hp than 285.I mean my c5(any c5 mn6) has at least 295-300 and this fd would walk it no prob,i guess almost 500 lbs less will offset the higher tq on a c5.

Well there is only one way to find out . Who knows maybe your car is really strong.

Just for a reference point. Here is a link to my dyno sheet. Only Power mods are PFC tuned for 13 psi, Efini Y-pipe, "Hard" Intake pipes, DP, & removed emissions.
