How Much Horsepower do ya think Options

I have a 95 GT cali spec, with short ram, header, exhaust straight, bosch platinum +4 plugs, and Nology wires. Im guessin 165-170

well, i have a 94 GT non-cali spec and i have OBX 4-1 headers, full custom CAI and full custom exhaust, new clutch and also about 10 degrees advance timing, now granted my car has 200k on the original engine, i dynoed at 119 to the wheels, so im prob sittin at about stock power at the crank, like 135 crank....just my experience. So 150-155 crank is maybe a bit presumtuous, but i coul be wrong.

If you read my mods, it says right at the top that a good tune up is one of the best modifications. I stand by that. It doesn't matter how free flowing your exhaust is, if you don't have good rings, plug wires, and a clean motor, you just won't do that well. I spend more money keeping the car in good "stock" condition that anything else. I think 150-155 is not at all presumptuous.

so do the st's and gt's are kinda like the same in like performance and stuff if im wrong which i know but how much is the difference in like acceleration and stuff between the engine just out of curiosity

I drove Miro's car awhile back, and he has an ST. It was really surprising how little these cars differ. If your not looking for top speed, they are very close. I always thought the GT was a lot better, but it's not. I think there are more options for ST's as far as performance parts. And the 4age swap is easier in them. Right now, I think I would rather have an ST than a GT, if mine didn't come with the SS package.
