Yeah, sure dude... whatever you say. Quite frankly you're about the last person who doesn't know this. Stock for stock, look for the Speed Density car to put down a good 20 more hp. The computer is way more aggressive in the SD cars. Remember the 1993 GT rated at 205? No changes were made from 1992-1993, yet the rating was 20 off. Ford claimed it was a new rating system. Interesting, why was the Mustang the only car affected by that? Don't be babbling on about the hyper pistons either. Everything equal the hyper piston car will make MORE hp, they weigh less. The truth is the 1987 5.0HO was the only 5.0HO in the Mustang to be rated, until 1993, when Ford discovered they lost 20hp along the way. The 20hp went the way of a weak computer, minor cam revisions, and the MAF restriction. In all likelyhood, all MAF cars made less than the SD cars. Which is why the earlier cars usually run better. IE 2-3 tenths, and 2-3mph.
As far as your 75hp being so huge, how huge is it? He can make all the hp he needs to run well into the 12's with the GT-40p's. How fast do you want to go? That's the name of the game. With the proper setup, he can crack the 11's with the TFS TW setup. If you're on a budget, you're on a budget. Other things you can add to that $700 is an additional $200 for not having to change injectors, $200 for not needing the 1.7's. Now that makes it $1100. $1100 for 75hp. Still a lot of hp, but how much does he need? He'll already be pushing as fast as you can get on street tires with a Fox body. Mid 12's at probably closing on 110mph. More than enough to take your SS to the cleaners.
