You could get close but you might need a bigger cam. I made 401 with my tsp .231/.237

I think you will fall a little short with that cam, probably around 390rwhp. If you want to go with one of the G5X cams you will definately hit 400rwhp.

It depends on what kind of Dyno you Dyno on. A Dynojet you may come close buy on a Mustang Dyno I don't think you'll be close.

Not 400 but I hit 377 rwhp sae corrected and 399 uncorrected with a good tune with a tr224 on a 114 lsa. Not bad, a new fast tb and intake should get me a little more with another update on the tune.

I guess I'll have to wait until after the holidays to see where I am at now when I can get some money saved up for a dyno tune. How much can I expect from a pulley, 10-15 rwhp?

pre 241 heads won't hit 400 unless u go with big cam and small n20....241 heads will make 400 with correct set up and tuning.....

I had GTP heads (MTI kinda looked and retouched them) then I put a 230/227 cam in there with my A4 and I made well over 400 hp.

I think 390-400 would be easy with a G5x cam and tuning on 241 heads

I think you'll be under 400rwhp but if you add an LSX intake you'll break 400rwhp.
