Mustang info (not a race)
Hi,
This post is for the people on this site that have knowledge on Mustang GTs. A guy that lives near me has recently bought a supercharged 99 gt, and from what I've heard from people that have talked to him about the car is that he claims he is running 10 psi? He has a catback exhaust and an intake, as far as I know, and he is claiming over 400rwhp (I think hes talkin out his *** but not sure) . I haven't got a chance to talk to the guy to get all the details on what kind of charger is on it but does the rwhp number sound correct? To me it seems high especially with the minimal amount of boltons and I was told that the bottom end of the 2V motor does not hold up at this level of power. Also how should my car hold up to this car in a drag race? ( I don't have any dyno #s for my car)
Sorry if this post is in the wrong section, but I really didn't know where else to put it.

Yeah, well I was thinking the car stock is only pushing like 220-225 hp to the wheels, its hard to believe that he improved his rwhp by almost 100% with a charger and minimal bolt ons

yea, i read. now I understand that you are stating that a 99GT has 50more rwhp than a 97 GT. I don't think so. I would love to see some proof of that. Then i'll stand corrected.

Well as a former owner of a '98 GT, that personally researched/installed PI cams and a PI intake manifold on myself, and almost did the headswap (researched the **** out of that too), and a current owner of an '01 GT, trust me... I know . And if you do a PI head/cams/intake swap on a non-PI GT, you end up with about 240rwhp, with no other mods. Swapping that stuff on bumps the compression from 9.3:1 to about 10.0:1.

I'm sure its possible, I've heard of mid to upper 300s on 8psi. But thats with headers and bigger than stock x pipe. 10psi on stock manifolds with a catback just sounds a little weird to me. Either way, a GT with 10psi will beat you.

The heads in the later cars (PI- Performance Improved) flow quite a bit better, the cams are worth 10rwhp alone, and the intake manifold is a 20-25rwhp difference. And those differences become greater once you apply boost. So add 50-60rwhp to your friend's '97, and then add 4psi to that.
