I was curious approx how much horsepower i would be putting out if i had the works dp,ip,ab,hfc,aperature,cams, upgraded intercooler, ti-retainers, v-springs, p2, and air filter. My other question would be, what should i get after that? Or do you pretty much have to get a bigger turbo and water injection after that? I am trying to retain reliability and an every day driver. Is that a good place to stop engine upgrades?

 

How about an HPDE under your belt first? In all seriousness, it should be around 300whp or so, possibly more, possibly less. You could with the 10.5 hotside and the WORKS water injection which would have an obvious postive benefit all around. With the water injection, you could run more ignition timing, more boost and proper AFR's all of which equal more power. It just needs to come out someday.

 

I haven't seen anyone with WORKS stage 2 putting out 300whp or more although of course other people with similar mods from other tuners put out way more.

 

what is works stage 2?

Basically what the author of this thread has mentioned less the Intercooler and the HFC.

 

I bet you could get pretty close to 300whp if not more with the TR340, HFC, bigger intercooler while running 93 octane.

 

We saw a customer with TR340 make about 290whp with the STOCK CAT and stock intercooler. He had dynoed at about 220whp stock on his '03. That was even with a 70mm IP and DP on 91 octane.

300whp is a HFC or RTP away.

 

I am guessing that is on a dynojet. Most I've seen on a Mustang or Dyno Dynamics is about 260ish whp. But who cares, it's not like WORKS customers are all about HPs.

 

Yes that's on a dynojet.

Peak numbers don't really mean much to us or how a car really feels/drives. Usable power, thick powerbands with gobs of torque is what we are after.

 

with the water injection kit is it safe? is it like a innercooler as in it cools the car? do you run alky on it? will this cause any rust?
