i wasnt 100% sure where to put this, but i picked here...

roughly how much horsepower(should be 150?) and more importantly how much torque does a 5.0 so make? i kno that our s.o's arent packing alot of power, but i kno we got some torque on our side, i just have never known how much. i dont wanna have to pay money to go on a dyno, i was just curious if anybody had a rough idea of what they are putting out stock. thanks.

no problem, I think the 2.3Ts in 88 had 240 torque

Correct, manual trans. cars were rated @ 190 hp / 240 tq. and automatic trans. cars were rated at 150 hp / 200 tq.
