I didnt read every page but I guess those aren't for the 2002 are they?
You guys just better be careful with those HP claims.
I modified my 5.0 1992 Mustang GT (full exhaust and many goodies) and if I were to have every HP claim for every mod I had - I would be pushing 500HP+ on a stock motor. Wish I was but I'm not.
Mustang 5.0 has BBK headers, Full cat back exhaust buy Bassani, Cobra Intake, BBK Cold Air, and March Pullies...I'm pushing 244HP. Stock is 225HP.. All this gave me 19HP. So be weary.
Sorry to say, but Headers give a better air flow..they DO NOT increase HP at the claims of what most manufacturers say they do. I doubt you'd get full 15HP.
For 400.00+ bucks..I would definietly wait for a dyno sheet.
But 35HP would be GREAT!
[/b]You have to realize that these claims are not necessarily "Peak HP" gains. You may have increased lower RPM HP by quite a bit with one change and higher RPM HP with other changes. Not everything adds on to your stock 225 HP
at XXXX RPM's. Base line Dyno testing is the only way to see what you really gained.
