What should I be seeing power wise with these bolt ons.

5.2l Manifold
Catless long tube headers w/ full 3.5'' exhaust
Airaid CIA
87mm throttle body

Been told this car is 500whp with just the exhaust and tune which I find hard to believe. Just purchased the car a few weeks ago and looking to see what I should expect with adding these mods. Thanks

You’re very likely not at 500whp. Maybe 460 - 480. Dynos vary widely.

I'm only running a 93 Octane PBD tune with a JLT CAI that gave me nearly 40 additional ponies putting me to 410whp on a '16 GT. I think that 500whp estimate was definitely reaching...

That is my thoughts exactly, I haven't been able to get this to a dyno yet so was just trying to get some feels on what the power might be with just the headers and exhaust.

Just don't be disappointed with any number you get. We've got some fantastic cars even at stock. :sunglasses:

I got a 19 with a vortech and I’m making 659 rwhp. Before I had a straight e85 tune from Lund and I made 423 rwhp. I think every car has different readings tho.

That set up will make good power, idk if it would be around 500hp or not but it'll be a lot more fun to drive either way. My car made 494rwhp on a mustang dyno with gt350 intake manifold, stainless works long tubes, comp cams N/A stage 2 grind, and a JLT CAI on 93 octane.

I would be willing to bet its not at 500whp, like others have said, most likely around 460whp. The E85 tune will provide quite a bit more power as well, even on an NA build, I would definitely say it is worth it. If you are ever interested in an e85 tune or what else you may need to hit that 500whp goal if that is indeed your goal, feel free to shoot me a message anytime. Lethalperformance.com

The best I've seen on a Gen 2 on you tube vids with the gt350 top end headers and e85 was about 450whp. Anything above that has been boosted. If your constantly racing e85 may be worth it. But cutting my gas mileage in half was not worth the extra 30 or so hp.
