I just bought a 2008 Mustang GT bone stock. I bought Long tube headers, shorty x pipe, high flow mufflers, 62mm twin tb, CAI, coil overs, and a SCT Tuner. Will I have over 300 hp/torque to the rear wheels after that or still not enough with a 91oct Tune?

You will probably be close. I'm guessing probably around 290

A good CAI and custom tune with 91 octane should get you to 300 rwh and about the same with torque; it did on my 2005 GT Vert.

I did full exhaust (BBK shorty tuned-length headers, Pypes X-pipe, Pypes mid-muffler exhaust), AirRaid CAI, SCT tuner and I am pussing about 317rwhp. Full exhaust will give you a lot more than you think especially with a good CAI.
