Default HP Guess?

With the mods I have, how much hp should expect? I think it might be about 420 at the flywheel. Am I right... do I have enough power to kick some 2003 SVT Mustang a$$?

I would guess around 350hp to the wheels give or take (probably take). Depending on how well you drive, and the driver of the the stang, you might be able to eek it out. I think your flywheel hp number is a tad high, for the mods you have.

Thanks for the help.

Stuff I forgot to mention.

It is a 2002 so it does have the LS6 manifold. It came from the factory with the SLP 20 hp option. It has a 3" y pipe and random tech. cats. It has an M6. It is a SS. I have also used LS1 Edit to change the fan activation temp., turn off the skip shift, and some other stuff I have forgotten about. I have not changed any of the big tables because I know that I don't know what I am doing.

Does any of this info change anything?
