You're kidding right? The "stage III fender badges (pair)" are worth 25-30rwhp alone!!! Add that to other advanced mods like the smooth bellows and you're well on your way to 400rwhp.

 

Clarify keeping up with "anyones" car?

Mustang dyno will definitely read lower, but you would probably be around 375 rwhp on a dynojet.

 

It's fast. I'll just leave it at that.

 

not going to flame you or anything.. just want to clarify here..

see, some of us keep company with very fast cars.. so saying you can hang with anyone really means jack.. 360rwhp (on any dyno) wont hang with some of the cars I keep company with... Granted many of my friends do things I dont condone, mostly they have 9-10sec (track proven) street cars..

I dont get off on that personally.. mainly I feel I am jaded since I grew up with everyone running fast.. so I dont have any desire to get into it anymore.. I just like being quick..

you should find out what kind of dyno you ran on for sure. 360 on a mustang dyno would be into the 400's on a dynojet.. but your times in your sig.. not good.. perhaps you need loads of traction?

 

I can see exactly how fast your car is, it's a 113 mph car. Have you raced any fast cars? Saying your 360 rwhp car can keep up with 'anyone's' car is silly. No doubt your car feels pretty quick, but run a 600+ rwhp car and you'll look like a bolt-on Civic racing your car.

 

I get NO TRACTION WHATSOEVER at the track. I plan on getting some DRs this spring and should finally be able to hook up and put down some decent times.

 

On the other side, you can spend a lot by builidng/ordering an "overbuilt and mild" 383 or 427, with like about 450 rwhp that has the reliability, tame characterstics, and pratically hands free maintence like a stocker (pratically 100k miles without lifting a valve cover) - and can take a 150 hp nitrous "insurance shot" without even blinking.

Combine that with a 9" Ford with 4 channel to keep ABS, 315's out back, and all the other goodies... your probably looking at another $20-30k added on top of the car.


Would make one swee, fast, and reliable F-bod though. Plus it would have tons more tq available throught the rpm range, so it would feel even faster in daily driving.


Hey, the LS7 crate engine should be coming out soon. GM says it will be priced vrry competatively compared to a engine shop building one to similar setup..
