can someone give me a realistic hp estimate?
I say realistic because my friends that own imports and mustangs seem to think that the mods on my car added a million hp so I just wanted to get an honest estimate of what you guys think. I bought the car with these mods so I don't know. im guessing around 15-20 hp realistically.
its a 99 frc.
I bought the car with
ls6 intake
k&n cold air
billy boat bullets exhaust
underdrive pulley
maf sensor
and the previous owner said it has a tune.
I know it isn't going to be astronomical but a give or take estimate. like I said im estimating around 15-20 hp over stock

340 rear wheel, but go find a nearby dyno and get more accurate numbers.

Dyno results for my '97 with a Callaway Honker CAI, B&B Triflow cat back and tune (car is an MN6). Baseline was with mods, but before tune...

A 99' 6speed C5 puts out around 300rwhp stock 01 Z06 about 340 I would guess your car is putting out a little under an 01 Z06 if everything is up to snuff...

My 2000 FRC hit 323 at the rear wheels before I did anything, every car is different but I'm thinking you should be around 340 or maybe a little more, but like I said ever car is different.
After a new fuel system and some more tuning mine picked up another 14+ ponies, amazing what a good tuner can do

I have an 01 coupe automatic with 58K and the following mods:
- Blackwing CAI
- B&B Route 66 cat back
- Kooks LT's with high flow catted mids
My dynotune numbers were 331 rwhp and 340 torque

Technically, an underdrive pulley doesn't "add" hp - it reduces parasitic drag from the accessories (since they are spinning at a lower rpm) and thereby "frees up" hp to drive the wheels. How much hp is "freed up" would depend upon how much of an underdrive it is. Generally speaking, it will probably net you 2 or 3 ponies on the dyno.
I cannot speak to the maf...but like a lot of mods, the potential gain is likely tied to how modified your engine is (i.e. the closer to stock, the less the gain)...
