I'd have to say I'm probably @ about 200 hp on my engine. And I'm still using stockers. Now most would say that is hoopla and perhaps they are right. My car cuts a 0-60 in under 5.7 seconds and w/ my head work, and bolt ons, I have even toned down the FP on stock injectors. What makes me angry is those who think more fuel will yield more HP. Well, not necessarily. If you don't have the displacement or flow to match the fuel, it'll never get burned and in saying that, more fuel could actually lower hp to an extent. We don't rev past 6K very well, so we could never take advantage of more fuel on a practically stock motor. Maybe I have a decent match of performance parts. Maybe my "butt" dyno is way off w/ my claimed numbers, being too cheap to dyno it. But I have raced quick cars and timed my 0-60's. I can take a mild modified 5.0 to 60, even my buddy's SRT from a 20mph roll to 70 until he starts to pull on me. Taken 05 and previous stock GT mustangs from a roll w/ little problem. I'm not trying to glorify my vehicle, but it holds its own very well. I amaze people w/ my little duster. Maybe I am at about 180hp and that's all it takes to get this little car moving, who knows. One day in the near future, I will dyno it. Thinking of it, I think I'll do it in the next month and post the results.
