So, how much HP should I expect? I guess I'll hit 250HP and 270 lbft at the crank?
The exhaust will be a DP from the Turbo, the highfloiw cat will be relocated further down/under the car, aftermarket resonator and muffler, all 2.5"

Any higher HP won't be good with the Tip? Why does AWE say you "have to" upgrade the Tip with a GIAC tip-chip?

...also take note that you can't add manufacturer HP claims when multiple items are added.

They tend to interact with each other such that if your engine already has 240HP worth of air flow (from intake, K04, chip & cat back exhaust), adding a fan kit will not likely free up an additional 10HP, but more like 3-5HP (if you're lucky).

A lightened crank pulley will help the engine develop more power in low rpm ranges...yet show hardly any gains above ~3K rpm.

just like a lightened flywheel. There is no more power. Put the engine on a brake dyno (almost never seen anymore as engines are hard to take out of cars because noone wants to pull the wiring harness as well) and the weight of the rotating mass makes no difference on power.

On a chassis dyno or the like, less rotating mass means that the drums can be accelerated more quickly, so the readings on the chassis dyno will be higher. This will also have an effect on your car's acceleration in the real world. But to say your car makes more power is not technically true.

An underdrive pulley assembly CAN make more power, because of less drag from the accessories. That is different.

Just wanted to point things out. I had to laugh the other days when on the Crank & Chrome show the other day they said that their project Mustang would make more power with stiffer engine mounts... morons.

usually each mod makes an impact at a different RPM. One mod might make 5 hp in the mid range, and another might make 5 hp in the upper range, but together, you only gain 7hp in the mid and upper range.

This is still fine though, since the area under the curve is what matters most.

K03 makes now.

Thanks for above, but still, why the Tip chip? I get the faster shifting but what else??

Electron Man

True, should've said "...allows more power to be transmitted to wheels" :-)

RangeR BoB

it definitely makes for better acceleration, but not actual power.
