hey does anybody know the specs on horsepower and torque an 87 bronco xlt 5.0L 302?

 

hp 190/tq 270

the 5.8 has hp215/tq310

 

i was just wendering if you guys think my geuss is farly accurate on my hp/torque

it has all of my mods listed on my signature thing

'83 5.8windsor

 

dont see anything so go ahead an post it

 

oh woops i thought i had it in my signature, my bad here we go



1983 Ford Bronco full size 351windsor c6 auto trans.
with 320+ hp and 390+ torque ( my geuss)

95 351w shortblock (.40 over 358ci)
edelbrock performer intake
Holley streetavenger 670 cfm carb
Windsor jr. 180cc Cast iron heads
Isky 262 supercam 302 camshaft
8.8" rear end with 3.55:1 gears

 

at the flywheel probably but not to the rear wheels. are you running headers as well? hows the rest of the exhaust?

 

I am running Hedman Headers Long tube with no cats dual all the way with some pretty free flowing mufflers.

 

well that type of exhaust will hurt low end performance. does that dual setup have an h pipe by chance. what is the diam of the tubing?

 

no H pipe, its probably 2 or 2 1/2 inch in diameter.

 

what do you think would be a better exhaust setup for me

all i really use it for is for towing a big 26 ft. boat on a 30 ft trailer

 

ok when i run it through desk top dyno you make 270 hp and 328 ft pounds torque.

 

whats desktop dyno? is it farely accurate and that is at the wheels and not at the flywheel right.

 

its pretty accurate, thats at the fly. subtract 25% from those to get wheel horsepower. the above mods really don't add a lot of power like most people think they do.

 

well thats really disapointing to me do you got any suggestions for me, and i don't know that that seems real accurate from what ive experienced so far, but oh well

what do you think i should change to get some more hp and tq?

 

you could always dyno it and find out for sure.
