for one thing, what's a Heatman intake? You mean TF Street Heat?

Not knowing about the intake, I'd say 260ish-280rwhp, I think you should upgrade your fuel system ASAP. :)

Oh, nice numbers on your 96 Cobra :thumbsup:

I was going to say the same thing, I would also look at bigger injectors while your at it....at least 24#. If I had to guess on HP with a good tune you should prob be around 280 maby even in 29Xhp range:rockon:

W/ stock heads your injectors would be alright, but since you've done away w/ the main bottleneck (a.k.a.-E7 heads) of the 5.0, you should upgrade your injectors. 30# injectors would give you a lot of room to grow, so that's what I'd do. Along w/ a Pro-M MAF :D

I searched Corral.net and also www.yahoo.com for a Heartman/hartman intake, I couldn't find it. Would you mind telling me what kind of intake you're talking about? :shrug: Thanks :D

yeah, definately need bigger injectors. Why are you giving us what type of mufflers and mid-pipe you have if you want to know how much power your engine is putting out?

Engine - 290 give or take some
Wheels - 260 or so
upgrade fuel system and make more
port the shitty trickflow heads and make more. thats all trickflows are good for, lotsa room to port.

oh yeah, you might be making less if you have the stock lower intake. port it or get another intake.

While you are at that, might as well get some LT's to add to that torque and power. Equal lengths wont do nearly as much for you as LT's could. Like said above, new injectors and fuel system and you will be pushing a lot more safely.

What are you smoking? The TFS heads are bad ass. Check specs on NMRA cars, they are all running TFS heads.


The Heartman is killing any chance of good numbers. I would put the stock intake back on untill you can afford another aftermarket intake. Mine made 338 @ the wheels with a Bennet 306 Lightly ported Twisted wedge heads, TFS Street intake, and a E cam.:) Maximize your parts and the numbers will come.
