alright guys....

how much hp do you think i'll be getting out of this setup:

pacesetter headers
flowmaster muffler with dual outs
k&n FIPK

 

How about 30? Is that long tubes or shorties?

 

not sure...i think theyre long tubes

 

You can get maybe 15 hp from the headers.
10 Hp From the FIPK
And Maybe 5 from just the muffler.

So probably 30-35 horses easily.

 

mid-length, there not shorties and not quite longtubes

 

15 total. 20 if you get a full catback.

 

I think the FIPK alone will breath in about 12 more hp for his 6

 

yesterday, I watch Horsepower TV on TNN, they have this "Project Nightmare", a 96 or 97 Mustang GT. they dino it and it came to 177 hp, then they added a 75mm Throttle Body and a moroso CAI, they dino it and it went from 177 to 188, then they installed a flowmaster cat back, and it went to 204 hp for a total of 26 hp more.... don't quote me or nothing this is just what I recall.

 

Yep, I saw that episode too. I was also thinking along those lines.

 

You're comparing a V8 to a V6. I agree with the person that said 20hp.

 

yes a v8 with 177 hp to a v6 with 200 hp

 

I saw that show too. Just as a question, does anyone else think that a 75mm throttle-body is just a bit big for that engine?? I don't think it can use all that airflow without a cam or some other mods. My .02

 

Not to be an a$$..but the guy who started this thread has a 3.4, stock he's probably putting down about 130. But i still think you could manage a good 10 rwhp from a K&N. I had a 3.4, that thing was fun to drive.

Comparing a 3.8 to a 4.6...the 3.8 probably puts down in the 160-170 rwhp range? The V8 does have more displacement...but still a FIPK should wake up any car a bit.
