just met up with this guy that has a mustang that is supposed to be extremely fast. i took a look at it and he told me it was a stock bottom end with stock heads that had some work done to them. it also had a cobra intake and all the bolt-ons.

what do you think is the most power this thing can make?
thanks

How fast it is depends on a lot of things including the driver. If it's a stock suspension, stock tired, stock geared car with the above mods, I would guess it couldn't break out of the 14's. The GT is heavier than the LX by a couple hundred pounds which adds a couple of tenths and if it's a stock AOD car, it's much slower.

With the right suspension, slicks, and gears, you can get a totally stock mustang into the 12's. Especially a notchback with headers, pulleys, shortbelt, electric fan, and all the tricks.

If he has say 373's and decent tires with a five speed, he might be getting into the 13's.

I've seen ported, stock head combo's like his make around 280hp, but it's impossible to be sure without putting it on a dyno. I think the best head porters around can get 300 rwhp. I recall some of the true street or trophy stock cars getting these somewhere around numbers.

You didn't state this, but if you have an FFR you already have a 1200lb advantage, which equates to roughly 120hp.

I once thought about it this way. I would have to put 5, 200lb guys in my FFR to even up the weight. That would be funny :D

Kevin,
I wouldn't care what horsepower he says he makes with stock ported heads. Line em up and drop the hammer! You'll probably take him! :D :D

I'm sure for a relatively stock Mustang, it's fast, but definitely won't keep up with an FFR.

Hell, my Jasper Engines HO 302, which is probably only 275 hp, with the 2.73 rear will outrun cars like that. HEEEEEERE IROC, IROC, IROC..... (no dummy me, not going 'Vette hunting until the 3.73s are installed).
