haha hell yeah thats me,, But some of my tools i have to keep separate from my dads, because with him being a welder they always seem to get lost or broken

 

the 5.0 was only rated for 195HP with an auto tranny; keep that in mind... and you have to remember that you'll loose some power the more miles you have on the truck. With a 95... I'm guessing you have 100K or more one it right????

You might have added 5hp with the Spectre set up and maybe 5hp for the timing... now subtract 5-10 HP for worn valves, lifters, and springs... Not to mention lower compression/blowby and when was the last time you had new/cleaned out your injectors... I'd call it a wash... if you have a auto tranny... i'd say 190-195ish

 

you guys are nuts that thing makes 450hp now come on! i mean the amsoil stick is 40 in its own right that specter is 29 and *** we all know every foot of duct tape is 10

 

His 95 is a roller SFI with mass air , thats whey its rated at 205 HP ....

 

I was pretty sure the last time I read the specs the roller sfi with maf is rated at 205HP but it also denoted in the book that auto trannies were only rated for 195HP... I didn't know if he had a auto of manual so i threw the auto number out there too.

 

yeah its a automatic unforchunatly,, But the the truck has a newer motor in it, he truck has like 158 thousand mile but the motor has 80 thousand, And iv cleaned out the intake/throttle body and have ran fuel system and injector cleaner, every like 10 fill ups,, and yeah i know them stickers said they add 45 hp

 

That is pretty funny, but i was there once. Except there was no internet then. If you really want to know how much power it makes take it to the drag strip! You can calculate the horsepower from your MPH and weight. Have fun!

 

hhmm yeah my brother races them rice burners, maybe he can get me in

 

There is nothing better! When we were in between races and working on our mustangs we would jump in one of our trucks and tear up some ricers at the track! That was when they were not as fast. Have some fun.

 

Thanks for this thread...I needed the laugh.

BTW I hear that tribal flames will add another 50hp...

 

I'm so tired of all the hot air intake crap. Why do so many peiple think getting one is going to give them 50hp? That does nothing for your truck. Something else to consider is fan wash which can cause an inconsistent reading on the MAF.

As far as how much power the truck has, its probably less than what the stock specs were because its not a new truck anymore.

My truck is rated at 195 and its a 95 5.0 MAF.

 

ow yeah i forgot, i made a heat shield from some old diamond plate, air filter stays a lot cooler

bad picture though

 

Oh snap. That just added 30hp. Usually it would only be about 20, but that's diamont plate. Good thinking...lol

 

rep to you.

 

That head shield really does just about nothing. Your truck would run better with the stock parts.
