Questions for the Pros
Questions for the Pros
Hey there, new to the forums, name is Leo.
I have a 2005 Mustang GT with the following mods:
WMS RAM Air Intake
Underdrive Pulley's
4.10 Gears
Stage 2 Comp Cams
Gutted Cats-Straight Pipes
Predator Tune for 93 Octane
Throttle Body Spacer
Strut Tower
Aggressive Chin Spoiler
Hurst Short Shifter
Obviously enough, some of the mods are irrelevant to the question but, how much power would yall say I have gained? Where am I at in the RWHP and what should my quarter time be at what mph?
Even though I have a Predator tuner...should I get it Dyno'd? Would it make that much of a difference? Or not enough for the money?
What would yall recommend my next step being on increasing my HP?
Should I get water temp/oil temp gauges? I run mainly streets, but plan on going to the track soon and making a habit of it.
Thanks for your responses guys!!

Long tube headers should show a high-end HP boost. The charge motion delete plates should help as well. Other than switching to a higher compression piston, not sure much else would help with the naturally aspirated HP, other than maybe race gas and a tune for that.
Oh yeah, shorties do little for the HP, same basic resonant length as the stock iron manifold. The longer tubes before the collectors and the deletion (if you're okay with that) of the catalytic converter are what make the power gains. Some gain from size of the tubing, but mostly for blown or higher displacement engines.
Last 5.0MM&FF article I read praised the Mac long tubes for their power increase, which are also some of the cheaper ones, and I think a bit easier to install as they're not so long. Can put a prochamber or other crossover pipe on as well, should sound great.
