You'd have to put it on an engine dyno
A gen 3 with headers/cobrajet etc will make 550 on an engine dyno, they are rated at 460hp with the stock manifold/intake, plus you have all the accessories and stuff that don't get put on when on the engine dyno)
cams will generally add about 50hp to...
Go with the Whipple stage 2 kit. Stage 1 is pretty lame. Don't bother with the gears/sprocket. And use the Nitto R2's for the rear, the G2's are going to be useless once you put the supercharger on. You're also going to want the BMR or Steeda stop the hop kits for the rear end.
I'd like to see the internal reasons on why they use both.Or why they don't just use one. Interestingly, they don't charge $1595 anymore to replace the manual with the 10R80.
Cliffs:
Charger is 900lbs heavier than the Mustang (400lbs heavier than a Hellcat)
Mustang stops 22ft shorter from 60 (that's a car length for the Charger). The Charger was on Goodyear all-seasons, though.
Charger did 0-60 in 4.1, but the car ended up slowing down big time, possibly do to...
Rather be pushed back into my seat than wiggle a little stick around
The engine (or turning if that's what you're into) makes the car exciting but the shifting not so much
My Mustang is a stick. The vast majority of cars that's I have owned have been. I just don't get why it makes so many...
Because they were designed to be used like that. GT500 cats also last.
It's supercharging the NA cars which is the problem with the Mustang. The cats weren't meant to have double the exhaust flow going through them, along with higher temps.
The Camaros have 4 cats don't they?
edit: yes
Boring to me would be shifting gears in a car and having to wait 40 and then 50mph to shift again (that's how long 3rd and 4th are in a MT-82D4 3.55 car)
