i own an 88 2.8 v6 W/T 5 spd. manual
i just rebuilt the motor, with basically stock replacement new parts( that wouldnt add HP, i know)and i want to know what to expect horsepowerwise , 0-60,
and another q , what mods can i add to increase HP without spending allot , and how much HP will it give me ?

thnx in advance

First let me say that's it's tough to guess HP, 1/4mi, and 0-60 times with all the variables involved. However if you want to add a little punch the best place to start is at the basics. Keep it well tuned. Headers, hi flow cat, cat back exhaust, cam. It really all depends on how far you want to go. But with exhaust, good intake, and maybe a chip you could probably squeeze out 30-40hp. You may also want to look into ignition upgrades.

i didnt ask for exact figures i just askesd for an estimate for example 100-125 or somthing like that,
and another related question for all of u with K&N's about how many HP does a K&N filter add , is it worth it ?

 

a k&n is worth it if you have an open element, the stock one is too restrictive. they usually add about 5-7hp(ithink), mine cost me 70 dollars, but its 4 inches tall, so it will not fit under a stock hood.
