Taking bets as too how much horsepower it makes. Closest person to the actual number of rwhp wins... something.

We need to know the components and what the car is..
stuff like compression ratio, size of engine and weight of car would be helpful...'


I am going to ask toyota to dyno my dinky tercel to see if its back to its power spec.. After that I install a Matrix Intake.. and retest.

Well, I know you have the Paxton blower, what else have you done to it? I'm willing to bet you'll put out around ~330rwhp

Um, lets' see.

1990 5.0 Mustang

Supercharger (6psi)
73mm mass air
Headers
catback
Ignition
Tremec 5 speed tranny
air filter - basically everything up from the intake... pipes, mass air, throttle body, etc.

That's msot of the significant stuff. The car's not tuned real well for performance, though. I'll get that done eventually.

269 at the rear wheels. A lot of dynos like that (probably Dynojet), will also give you the estimated horsepower at the flywheel as well.

I could be wrong, but I don't think those older Mustangs put more than 170 hp to the rear wheels. You have some mods, but with stock heads I would really be suprised if you had more than 250 at the back wheels. My guess is 240.
