I am not too familiar with the SN95 Mustangs (I have an 05), but my dad just purchased one...and has started modifications. I was wandering if anyone could give me a good estimate of a HP rating with the mods he has.

He has: BBK Cold Air Induction, BBK Throttle Body, BBK Intake Plenum, BBK Underdrive Pulleys, Pypes Exhaust, and a DiabloSport tuner.

Thanks.

 

What year is it?

 

Yeah, the year's important.
I believe the 94 & 95 5.0s were rated at 215 hp, as were the 96 & 97 4.6. The 98 got a bump to 225 hp, and from 99-04, with better heads, the 4.6 was rated at 260 hp.

With the mods your dad has, he could be seeing a significant power increase (maybe 30 hp), depending on what exhaust mods and tune he has.

 

Well from the BBK upper plenum comment, I'm guessing its a 4.6... which year is defintely a big question as far as HP.

I'd say all of those combined, Dan is close in his 30hp claim. You'd probably see 20-25rwhp gain on the dyno.

 

I was going to say around 35. Again it depends on the tune/octane.

 

First...wow I can't believe I didn't even put the year. It is a 4.6 and a 2001, sorry.

Secondly...thanks for the help.

Well, figure 6-10 hp for the intake stuff, 5 hp for the pulleys, 4 or 5 hp for the exhaust(assuming its a cat-back), and 10-15 hp with a good high octane tune. I think the 99-04 put about 215hp to the wheels in stock form, so youre seeing somewhere between 235 and 245 rwhp. Pretty good!

 

well tranny will play apart in the numbers. For a 5-speed, consider then about 225rwhp stock and for an auto around 210-215rwhp stock. The mods will add about the same either way, but with a good tune, an auto will pick up more time at the track since the shift points and firmness will be much better over stock.

 

Honesty, it is! Hope he enjoys his new car...
