HP estimates!

Hey guys I wanted to get a rough guess on how hp I would have with the following mods I have done.

1. MAC longtube headers
2. UPR offroad xpIpe
3.MAC exhaust
4. 4.10 ford racing gears
5. BBK 78mm throttle body.
6. BBK CAI
7. STEEDA under drive pulleys
8. ACCEL super coils
9. SCT 93 octane race tune

Anything other than nitrous or s/c that can be done? Or am I maxed out? Thanks!

250-270ish whp is what a bolt-on GT usually does. You can do cams if you feel like spending the money.

I was thinking head and cams but is the HP really worth the money?

Not in replacement of a SC. SC is better hp to price. It just depends on how far you are willing to go. The stock rotating assembly is really only good for around 400-450rwhp. So a SC would take you there. If you went further with heads and cams you would also need a beefier bottom end.

If I went with any of those is it safe to put on a motor that has almost 100k miles. I've done everything possible to maintain the engine.

I've got the same bolt ons. My auto gt dynoed at 267rwhp, 311torque. Focus on the chassis, suspension and drive train. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

I've lowered it, changed all the suspension components, added lower control arms, added caster camber plates and a new k member. I'm just trying to build a solid mustang that will last a while with looks and speed

I wouldn't be too worried about mileage. If it was defective it would have broke already if it hasn't broke by 100k it most likely won't. Of course wear items do need replaced as necessary. Regular maintenance and a good tune on high powered applications like a supercharger go a long way.
