I'd say maybe 280. get a plenum, tb, and maybe some u/d pullies and you could get close to 300.

Is it just me or is 240rwhp a bit low?

I guess 280-290 rwhp. Your current 240rwhp seems low to me too.
You should do the plenum and TB if you can.

I think 240 sucks. My car made 234 with a catback and CIA.

I always thought that heads would give a better hp gain.

Get the plenum and t/b and stick her back on the dyno

I think with longtubes and cams you'll definitely see 300. 35rwhp from LT's and Stage 2 cams is very plausible

i only put down 241rwhp and 280rwtq and i had x pipe, catback, cai, plenum/tb..... that is without a tune. so your numbers are fine unless mine were really low. i think you might see 290rwhp. not 300 though.

lvmustangt your numbers very high for the few mods you have.

Jeez, those numbers are kinda crappy. I guess it depends on the car

I live by you. where are you getting dynod at? with my mods in my sig and 13 degrees of timing with 100 miles on my motor i pulled 297rwhp and 327 trq.Hopefully with alot more timing in it I will pull more next time i dyno.Your best choice would be VT stage 2's or Comp XE 270's if you want to get to 300 without ported heads.Maybe ill see you on the road sometime I work at Bob Howard in Edmond.

Not crap man just livin the dream!HP racing built my motor and dynoed it.I would reccommend using bryan up there to tune your car next time you do it. It would be well worth it though to go ahead and change your valve springs and get the stage 2's. Just glad you didnt say you were getting your car tuned by powerhouse.

I may have missed it but what did you dyno on? Mustang or dynojet. Makes a big difference in numbers.
