How Much Horsepower Will I See At The Wheels?
 

I don't expect anybody to know exaclty how much horsepower power i'm making, but i would like some rough estimates on how much hp/tq i can expect at the rear wheels?

1992 Mustang 5.0 LX

The mods:

BBK CAI
BBK Pullies
Explorer Intake Manifold
BBK 70mm Throttle Body/EGR Plate
C&L 76mm MAF Sensor
BBK 1 5/8" Longtubes
BBK O/R H-PIpe
Flowmaster Exhaust
MSD 6AL Ignition
#24lbs Injectors
255lph Fuel Pump
NOS 175 Dry Shot
Autolite 23's Gapped At 0.035
10* Base Timing
110 VP Race Fuel

I didn't use the combo yet, but what is the max nitrous shot i can use before i blow head gaskets?

Can my engine handle more hp than this?

get better (hi performance) head gaskets

you could blow head gasket with a low shot if your tune is wrong. why you using 110 vp race fuel?? it has lead in it. not good for your O2 sensors.

Before you take it out and stomp on it, you need to go to your local shop with a dyno. Hopefully they can program your chip for you as well. That way you do not have to go back and forth from shop to shop. This can take some time. You have to see where you are at know with HP, then tune your chip to maximize performance, then dyno again to check what the changes to your chip did for HP and torque.

This is the only way to make sure that your engine is properly tuned for nitrous.

I say prolly 230 to 245 at the wheels with no juice. your motor can take a 150 shot assuming everything is in good working order. from personal experience, you need to retard your timing about 1 to 1 1/2 degrees for every extra 50 you have over a 50 shot. ie with a 150 timing should be around 7 degrees. bump the fuel pressure up a little too. use the vp only at the track when using the juice. on the street with your setup, its only a waste
