Toss a cut out on there and you should gain somewhere around another 10rwhp more. Other than that i would say your right about on for your mods. Not all cam'd cars are going to hit 400rwhp.

Agreed. I think install a cut out, and remove the cats, and add a pulley. You'd be right at or around 400 RWHP. I doubt even at a measly 380RWHP - that your car is a slouch. Take it to the dragstrip dyno.

You pretty much have every last bolt on, EWP, UD pulley, and a cut out are about your only options short of heads or a power adder.

UD pulley and a ported TB would be the last "bolt ons" that I can think of. What do you mean you don't want to mess with a cutout? Cost me $60 bucks to buy from the exhaust shop AND have them install it. It's just like your normal exhaust, then, undo 3 butterfly bolts and have 10 or so hp. By far the easiest thing in the entire world to do.
What gears do you have in your car? I would imagine with 4.10s and yours mods you will have some pretty impressive times.

You are about average for your parts. Don't be disappointed with them. If you had an auto with a stall, same cam and intake/exhaust, you would only put down about 340.

Get rid of the cats and get a cutout - you should see a good gain from that.

is this after the tune? or did you just throw it on the dyno to see what the car is making without tuning it?

Have you done any free mods? Looks like you're just free mods away from 400 rwhp or close to it.

No offense, but worst post ever.....

Thread starter : If you're looking for extra power, you need to ditch the cats(I dont care how much they flow, they still restrict) and add a cut-out(you know they do have electric ones that you can close at the push of a button ? Yea..WAY too difficult....)

Mcduffy is right in that not all cars hit 400rwhp, every motor is different, every tune is different, every dyno is different. HP numbers are NOT everything.
