Does this sound right?
A kid I used to go to school with has a ?(hasnt told me what year, I've asked him 3 times) I think its an 86 Mustang GT, anyway, it has a 5.0 in it... He claims he is puttin out 750 bhp, and 600 rwhp with these mods:
the lower end crank, cam, valves, rods, mains, stroked, new block, new injectors, the shorty headers from the old i moved to the new, the system is a magnaflow offroad xpipe and a cat system, i got the supercharger from brothers performace its a vortech 8 psi which is about 2500 i got it for 1500 i also have a trick flow manifold on it with a bbk 70mm throtle body new fuel rails fuel pump um new valve covers new pully's i up dated my timing, i also have a ram hd cluch kit fly wheel i got a new trany to help put more to the ground and a carbon fiber drive shaft hurst shifter
He says he got a dyno in cali somewhere with a printout of his numbers... at first he told me all he did was s/c and exhaust, and I said there was no way hes getting 750hp off of that, so he told me these things, Im just wondering if hes right. Seems like a lot of hp just from those mods.

he isn't pushing that kind of power with a stock tranny or rear end.
Ask him who in Cali did his tune, that'll give you a solid answer. If he says "a friend", he's full of ****. I don't know many people that have a dyno bay in their backyard...

I've also learned from some other boards, teh mustang brand dynos will read way off sometimes ( a guy on my grand prix board did 2 runs on a mustang one came out about right at 325 hp, the other was 630 hp)
