I've heard reports that well running stock 5.0s should put out 190hp to the wheels. I just wanted to ask you guyd if this is true or if these are false numbers. I have witnessed three Mustangs dyno numbers and they surprised me. The first was a buddy of mine with, Cobra intake, GT-40 heads, B-303 cam, injectors, pulleys, etc. and he pulled 250 at the wheels. Another was a guy at the place where I dynoed my car. His car was running poorly and he dynoed at 195 at the wheels. the final one is my car. My performance mods are, K&N, Pulleys, and a cat back. My car pulled 212 horsepower and 276 foot pounds of torque. I've seen as little as 240 foot pounds and that, in my eyes seems a little low. No offense, but I see Modular cars pulling 50-100 more horsepower, and 0-10 more foot pounds of torque. I myself prefere torque over horsepower, but these cars are running much faster than my 13.7. I love all Mustangs and this is my first post so I'm just learning how you guys are. So far, by what I've read you are a great bunch of guys and I will enjoy posting here. One more thing, What is your take on IMPORTS. I personally don't like them, and my son dreds them. How do you guys feel?
