Just installed the MAC mass air kit on my 95 cobra. It is said that the mac mass air gives you a 16.5 hp gain. I can really feel the difference. It also gives yor car a louder and deeper sound! Great product for $235.000 with free shipping!!!

 

why did u put a mass air kit on it if u are selling it? and why r u looking for a chip if u r selling it?

 

I have decide to keep it. It's paid off and since I put off getting the 05 for the 2006 ,I'veput away a better down payment. I also just bought cobra rims. 275's on the front and 315's on the back. The car hits the paint shop in 2 weeks

 

then i think you should change your info under the avatar

 

16.5 thats pretty good. I'm wondering what it would do for a 99 GT. Man with a chip and cold air intake if I could reach somewhere in the 300 hp range i would be very happy

 

Thanks for the reminder.

 

I wonder about the hp gains these products advertise.Say you put a chip in to increase 30 hp and then the mass air that give 16.5 hp. Does that mean your car actually made an extra 16.5 on top of the 30 hp all ready gained? Or is there a wash in there some where???

Good question. I never really thought about that but now....

 

could someone tell me what hes asking and i will answer it please

 

Your insight would be appreciated!!

 

dunno... i'm gonna put a supercharger on my car this summer, anyone know how much of a gain that will give?
BTW, it's a 3.8 v6...

 

hmm depends on the blower and the psi... check out 5.0 resto, they have some nice S/C kits for a 3.8L V6 in a stang, they said it got 215 hp on an otherwise stock 3.8L. keep in mind this was a 94-95 era 3.8, so you might get a lil more juice.

check out the various V6 stang sites, they'll have plenty of good info that you can most likley apply to your 'bird

 

9 psi procharger P-1sc woud be like 300 flywheel with 9psi, u can make 350rwhp with a T-60 intercooled with 8 psi, ask crahs about his remote turbo kit at www.got-pressure.com or www.trixtersracing.com

yes, 46 flywheel hp addition, so it would translate to like 25rwhp. the car would run much quicker also, you might also wanna consider a set of 4.10 or 3.73 gears

 

If I'm understanding the statement correctly there should be some kind of wash.

A while back Horsepower TV used the SCT tuner(or something like that) for an 03 Cobra and gained like 40 hp. Afterwards they added pullies and gained another 20hp. I doubt the pulley by itself will give a 20hp gain. It was more of the combination than the product.

I believe later in the show they mentioned that adding after market headers and exhaust could lower hp and damage the engine because the tuner wasn't programmed for it.

So virtually the Horsepower TV crew added the best combination, showing that more money and more parts don't always equal positive results.

 

Just an opinion here, but if I were you I would take the car to a dyno to check the a/f ratio. No telling what it is after the c&l, and a chip, unless custom burned will probably lean it out even more.

 

Just an FYI, Supercoupes are suppose to make 250hp to the crank in stock form. With a little work they can easily get to 300 rwhp on the stock short block. Now I am sure the mustang 3.8 internals are slightly different, bu that may give you a rough idea.
