What is the most rwhp that can be attained while keeping boost to 10psi?

I have an auto 3rd gen. I was going to get a Power FC but then I found out I would loose the hold feature. I'm not ready to give that up so I decided I'll use a boost controller to ensure I stay around 10psi. Given that, I'm wondering how much staying at 10psi will limit my potential rwhp regardless of mods.

 

210-230 with stock twins

 

With all the bolt-ons, at least 300rwhp. You can look at:

to see various setups.

 

I made about 260 rwhp (231 on Mustang dyno) at 10 psi with PFS intake and SMIC, downpipe, and cat-back.

Assuming you could stay at 10 psi with a midpipe, I would say 280 rwhp is possible on a strong car.

BTW, I thought you could use a Pettit ecu with an automatic...

 

The last time my car was on the dyno it made 310 rwhp@10psi with all the bolt ons. This was on a dynojet however.

 

Let Peter Farrell tune it at 11 psi and you can make 345 around 300 I'd imagine.

I'm not sure I've ever even seen a Auto FD dyno?

You can pretty much count on the tranny slipping/etc with ANYTHING over stock power levels. By etc.. I mean loosing gears/clutches burning out/Torque Converter problems.

If you're serious about modding your car, dont even try in an automatic. Save up and swap that POS out.

 

i don't have dyno #'s, but i trapped @ 110 mph running only ~9-10 psi.

 

Currently I'm running full exhaust (installed the DP and restrictor plate today) and intake with ProfecB limiting boost to 10psi and the car feels wickedly fast (with stock IC). I don't have any numbers atm, but I am getting an ECU this week and will go to dyno later.
