I'd say those are nice numbers for mids. I would get LT's for more hp, pick up some 1.6 rr's and a set of LT4 springs. Then you should be in the 300's rwhp. Pick up a 3000+ stall if you don't already have one.

Numbers look good. I agree on the electric water pump and 1.6 roller rockers being a nice addition.

Sorry to hijack thread I hit 270 RWHP and 295 RWTQ with only PS LT headers and y-pipe with turndown. No CAI or nothing of that sort. I say get EWP, LT4 SPRINGS AND 1.6 rr. Quick ? could I be in the 300's with full exhaust, full CAI, lt4 springs and 1.6 rr'S?

Adding a full exhaust will make you lose a few ponies. Add an electric cutout and you'll won't lose anything.

EWP + CAI + 1.6 rr's + tune will get you in the 300's

LT's + EWP + 1.6 rr's + retune will get you in the 300's.

Does anyone have a mid length to long tube dyno comparison? Not guesses, but an actual dyno sheet where nothing else was changed? Very curious to see how much improvement and where in the curve.

Im very tempted to swap my Mid Lengths to Long Tubes and the only thing that is keeping me from doing it is i live in California.

I can probably get a hook up tho.

who thinks i should do it?

Oh yeah will i have clearance problems i droped my car 1.8" front and rear if i go with long tubes? is there any brand you guys recomend? Pacesetters any good?

it is difficult to say however a friend of mine has a 93 with a bunch of miles on it, he has Lts,true duals,K&N cai and a pcm4less chip managed to pull off 282hp and 313tq so add 1.6s and ewp you should be over 300.

on a mustang dyno btw

If you're sure you can get the hook up then it'd probably be worth it. It would suck to go through the work and money and then not be able to drive it though if you can't get it through, though.
