Re: What should my car feel like with these parts?
That'll have about 30HP more then stock, so about 200HP at the crank. Maybe 8-9 second 0-60, and about 14.8 in the quarter. You've really only done headers and y-pipe for HP.
You're talking about a new mustang GT? No, you couldn't keep up. Do some real mods, then you could.

You've improved the exhaust getting ou of the engie, but it's still choked by small tubing & a factory muffler?
Do a good cat-back, and you'll really notice, since headers are already on there.

Re: What should my car feel like with these parts?
No i do have a flowmaster with it. It is a 80 series. I just wanted to know if it would do anyting much for my car. I am trying to get ready to put in a 383 stroker motor that will be having 475 at the crank so hopefully 400 at the rear. So anything you guys think i can do to help everything work together?
thanks

Re: What should my car feel like with these parts?
Should be ready to receive the 383. I'd be looking at upgrading the rear end with some high strength parts, if you're serious about that 383 and it's not just a pipe dream.
Update your car info if you have 3.73 gears.
If you have a 475Hp 383, I don't think 2500RPM stall speed will be enough. Then again, the stall speed really depends on the engine, so it's worth re-looking at.

The rear end is in the mail right now i'm just waiting. Now with the 383 it will be going in i am hoping around october or november.
So with the trans what do you guys think?
What you mean with the rear end?
Subframe connectors?
I dont know what else i should look into.
thanks
