Default 50% and .83

I had to correct that last estimate. I had over looked the fact that we were talking about a '95 Cobra as apposed to a GT. The 50% is a generous factor for increased fwhp due to the S/C. Probably really only about 33% but he mentioned other mods that would up the estimate (exhaust, pulleys, intercooler). Ford says that the driveline efficiency for a 5 speed manual is about 83%. You should get about 83% of net SAE flywheel hp at the wheels. I'll be the first to admit I'm just guessing here. He did ask for guesstimates.
