Ok guys, gotta jump on the hp power guestimation bandwagon.
Give me your best guesses;

93 Cobra block, .030 over
96 Explorer (GT40) heads
Crane 1.7 roller rockers
slightly too short pushrods (I assume this effects cam?)
B cam
Long Tube headers
Typhoon Intake
K&N a.f. and homemade intake tube
3G Alt
stock maf, stock injectors
AC & smog pump eliminated
2.5" exhaust w H pipe, no cats, no mufflers-

ideas? 275? I'd be EXTREMELY happy if it made 300.

I think you could hit the 300 mark if you ditched that intake and run some mufflers [patriot]

Yeah, I see this question a lot too. It seems it's either a B cam with 1.7's or an E cam with 1.6's but the rest of the combo is always the same.

ha ha- yeah, it WAS an E-cam too, but swapped it out. Pretty damn common.
You think the Typhoon el-cheapo intake is worse than stock?
I'll put mufflers on it if I can afford em- just runnin outta money fast on this thing- pure track car anyway.

Sounds like a budget build...I don't think you'll make 300hp..don't listen to the guy that knows nothing about nothing...275 maybe...change up the intake ,mass air,and injectors and maybe..but then again I'm no expert,I just own a 4cyl 92 gt

What do you guys suggest thats easy/cheap bolt on stuff to add some more umph? 24s w matching MAF?
Also, are mufflers that important for the power?
And yes, when ISNT it a budget build? This is the back up/demo car, so yeah, its not gettin the financial love that Drift Patrol #2 gets.

1) Slightly too short pushrods?? No it has no effect on the cam, It has a GREAT effect on the valve train geometry... You will ruin your valve seals.

2) Long tube headers... Complete waste on this combination.

3) Typhoon Intake... With extensive work, not a bad intake. Out of the box? possibly an adequate boat anchor.

4)stock maf and injectors?? This is a joke right??

5)no cats or mufflers?? Now I know it's a joke..

Pretty funny stuff man... You really had me going.


If you are serious...

You will be lucky to get 230 out of that combination. It will make no power anywhere and will last just long enough to change the oil twice, maybe three times.

gotta love the cynical forum A-holes- ha ha ha. Well I've seen multiple stock 5.0s dyno 211-216 rwhp, so I certainly hope I'll make more than 230. 250 is probably closer to what it'll really make. How could longtubes be "a complete waste on this combination"? Does this mean they'll hurt the performance? Restrict it? Otherwise, I dont see how $130 Summit Longtubes (which sound awesome and make working on it muuuuch easier)be a waste at all.
I have been trying to locate a matching set of 24 lbs/hr injectors w MAF, but with only a week to build the car and about $2k, it just didnt happen. As for the exhaust, it too just hadnt gotten the attention or dollars- but should before the demo. As far as it running only long enough for me to change the oil two or three times, I find this the funniest. Mostly due to the fact that I ran a junkyard 5.0 w an SL1200 blowing through it making 468rwhp and it JUST finally gave out after for 5 years of HARD, HARD use and competition.
Do appreciate your input though. You sure you're not a Chevy guy? Most Ford folks seem to be pretty cool- lol.

Hmmm.. After working at a shop to put myself through college and dynoing countless 5.0's, I have NEVER seen one lay down more than 195 stock. As for being a cynical A-hole. Not at all. I'm realistic...and honest. Perhaps you should try the same with your expectations of this build. BTW, to answer your questions. In short, the long tubes will do nothing for this combination in terms of power because this will send a VERY false signal to the ecu in terms of O2 temp and pulse duration unless a tune is used to correct this scaler. Second to that point, explain to me how this will make the car easier to work on?? As to the comment on the longevity of this combination, anyone willing to run short pushrods and no exhaust, stock injectors and maf - regardless of intent to buy upgraded components - and declare its purpose as a competition appliance is asking for catastrophic valve train failure and or a blown headgasket.

how will havng straght pipes welded in instead of mufflers lead to catastrophic valvetrain failure or a blown headgasket

stock injectors could support up to 300 crank hp

Are you freaking serious??? The exhaust has nothing to do with the valvetrain geometry, nor did I state that it does. Reread my posts... As for the 19 lb injectors supporting 300 crank hp, sure they can, but not very well and certainly not with any margin for error or tunability.

heres my suggestion, you can afford to buy add ons, but cant afford to take it to the shop for a horsepower check, and you think buy asking someone how much horsepower you will get buy a post on cafords, dude this forum is not a tech machine, you cant plug your car into cafords, so why ask?? you want to know plug the FN car in at a shop, cause no one will know what crap youve added or how you installed it, or if your motor was brand new, cause a motor with high miles will not show you what you want to know.. and not even the best tch on here will know, YOU NEED A MACHINE sell some of your stuff, get some cash and pay for it... good luck bro..
