Power estimate on a a 1994 Mustang GT

stangballer · 11-19-2008

Well im looking at a 1994 gt and I think that I'm going to buy it. I just had a couple of questions. How much power do you guys think that this setup would make? Here it is.
Alright its a 1994 gt.
List of mods
Y302 svo aluminum heads w/ crane 1.72 roller rockers, upgraded springs w/ Ford Racing M-6051-A50 high performance engine gaskets kit
cobra intake upper and lower w/ Ford Racing M-9439-A50 Gaskets
bbk 70mm throttlebody
steeda 19 cam /w ford racing timing chain, and a pro race balancer.
msd coil
egr delete
smog delete
a/c delete
spec stage 1 clutch
flowmaster 40 exhaust
ORX
ford racing shorty headers
eibach pro kit lowering springs
manaul fan switch
bbk short shifter

How much wheel hp would it make? its through a 5 speed too. Also what would i be looking for in the 1/4 with street tires and an average driver.

right around 290 to the wheels, or so maybe 300 with a proper tune,

thats what i think and

1/4 around high 13's

That sounds about right, You could throw in some 3.73's and maybe hit some low 13's with some good driving.

if i get it my plans are gears (3.73's or 4.10's), then a nice set of drag radials, and then to top it off a 75 shot(it would be my dd so i would be extremely cautious about it even though I could probably do more). The guy only wants 4400 for it so I'm going to sell my camaro quick on ebay and buy it hopefully. Its very clean, black and has cobra r's

how many miles?

i would go 4.10s with the manual

i have 4 11s they are great!! may favorite this is getting on the freeway!! haha it will feel like a new car

Aren't those 4.10's a little much on the highway, I know it is supposed to be just a couple of hundred rpm's different at 70 mph (compared to 3.73's) but I'm not for sure how much different it feels in the real world of driving. I'm planning on getting gears in the spring and I can't make my mind up between the two. Also, mustangmike94 I see that you have 3.73's in your ride ,how come you are saying 4.10's? are you not liking the 3.73's? I was just wondering.

well the 4.10s are great for going fast quick and on the highway im at 2200 at 65 mph

i have 3.73s in my auto, and i drove my friends 93 GT 5 speed with 4.10s and its just a whole different feeling to it compared to my 3.73s

dont get me wrong I love my 3.73s but for a manual i think he should go 4.10s

If you are going from 3.08s to 4.10s you will increase RPM by 33% at any given speed.

With 3.08s and 5 speed, mph of 75 will be about 2000 rpm. With 4.10 at 75 will be around 2650 rpm.

If you do a lot of highway driving, 4.10s get engine pretty busy.
