Some gains but probably <4-5 HP..




I have an SE and SVT heads with cams, LIM, headers & injectors to be installed, and a chip to make it all work. What-d-ya think I'll gain?




Mid/High 160's (HP) on a Mustang dyno and Mid 170's (HP) on a Dynajet dyno to the wheels would be a good guess. That's pretty close to my car but I started with a SVT . You would also need an SVT 60mm TB and SVT MAF as well to get the close to the higher numbers SVT owners have pulled. Should net you at least 20 HP to the wheels going from the stock SE to the semi SVT modded SE would be my guess.
