Looking for 300 RWHP...

if you were running that rich with the 76 and the 24's then something had to be up with the fuel pressure...id get an adjustable fp regulator, and i didnt see underdrives mentioned on your mods list so you could look into them....and im sure a larger than stock MAF would make some power....and you could prolly pick up a couple ponies from a 65mm TB...but there are guys running like 10's on the stock TB so that may not be worth it....

the 19's are only good to 219rwhp????, that cant be true b/c there are a lot of people making more power thant that

Considering my mods below, can I get 300rwhp or close to it by means of add-ons like tune/custom chip and/or pulleys or what? I'm not adding an SC or nitrous to this car and I'm not going to do a head or cam change since I'm broke and the crate is almost new, etc... I dyno'd at 260rwhp and 297 torque and quite frankly I'm somewhat disappointed with this 340 crate motor from Ford. I had 24lb injectors and a 76 mm C&L maf but went bact to stock cause the car ran like Sh**... So, if there is hope, please let me know or should I be happy with what I have?

Sometimes the dyno doesnt tell the whole story. Have you ever run that car at the track? What kind of dyno was it also, some types tend to give lower numbers.

I have the gt40 crate motor as well, but with the B cam. I managed 109.99 MPH in the 1/4 with it, and using online calcs, they usually say 335+ flywheel HP, which would seem pretty reasonable, of course these arent an exact science.

I also was using the stock maf/24# injectors, and it was untuned for the most part, just the basic things though tweecer like the shift retard, fans, egr etc.. The car ran mega rich, and when i took the heads off this winter the pistons had tons of carbon build up.

I would not be happy with what you have.. There must be something up, cause ur way down on power. I would deff do the pulleys, they are always good for some HP. But you must be running mega mega rich or something, i would consider a dyno tune.

Ive never gone to a Dyno shop but I had allways assumed that they use a "sniffer" in the tail pipe and can tell you your A/F ratio thru your entire RPM range. And also adjust your timing accordingly, And wouldnt this be the best time to get a chip burnt so that all the necessary changes for the best performance would be saved?
