you can go alittle bigger and still make good power on the stock manifolds. You wont make as much as someone with LT's but you will still make good power.

Those numbers don't really seem bad to me.

It is funny though, my numbers are almost exactly reversed from yours.

351 rwHP
365 rwTQ

on a Mustang Dyno

You can see my mods below for comparison.

^^^^^thats odd, ive never seen a V with more torque then HP without something like nitrous. i made 365hp/350tq with headers and CAI so im guessing you have your numbers switched or a dyno error.

I am looking at my Dyno Sheet right now:

Mustang Dynamometer - Date: 6/22/2007

Base Run:

Max Power = 324.5 @ 5450 RPM
Max Torque = 341.7 @ 4550 RPM


Test Run:

Max Power = 351.3 @ 5600 RPM
Max Torque = 364.8 @ 4550 RPM


I can clearly see the torque curve peaking a bit higher than the power curve. I guess I just got a torque monster.

Dont worry, my tq is higher than my hp too. Oh well.

Notice the cars with more torque have lightweight flywheels... whisler was your run on a mustang dyno also?

No sir. It was on a DynoCom. My dyno sheet is on my Mac. I'll post it later.

At the time my car was dyno'ed, I was running the stock flywheel and clutch. I only just recently (as in the last week) got the clutch/pp/fw installed.

I'll scan and upload my dynosheet as well.

Just took a pic of it with my phone. Here is the sheet:

Did you dyno since doing the clutch? I'm curious how much power that got you....

Not yet. Probably won't get it dyno'ed until I have something else more substantial done to the car. So I may never know how much, if any, gains are shown on a dyno from this mod alone.

It definitely feels better, but honestly, the difference isn't as dramatic as I thought it was going to be. Take my opinion with a grain of salt though, as any of these seat of the pants things are really subjective, and the next guy might think it feels like a different car. It revs slightly quicker, and engagement feel is 10,000x better than stock, and pedal throw (depression length) is shorter which makes for a quicker shift, but its hard to tell how much faster the car is now than it was before.

Overall, I am really happy with the Monster Kit, but just haven't been able to enjoy it yet because of the mystery grinding noise that I need to get fixed.

mustang dynos seem to be stingy with TQ #s since its a "load" dyno. funny how tweeters is diffrent

Also the LS2 makes more Tq then the LS6 cause those guys do alot of towing and tractor pulls and etc.

I just realized that this time next month, I'll have almost the exact same setup as you. I'm ordering a 232/234 112 cam from TSP. I'm getting Katech headers from a friend and Thunder Racing will be doing the dyno tune. It is nice to see that setup over 400

^^^^ A lot of it is in the tune which im sure TSP should be good. Just dont get dead set on the 400 number, i made 399(with 2 degrees of timing pulled for 100 shot) but every dyno is different. Do you have an u/d pulley and ported throttle body? I trying to decide if I wanna even mess with those.

Yeah it definitely varies car by car and dyno by dyno. Similar setups with smaller cams have made more and setups with bigger cams have made less...lol.

Did you get you high flow cats installed yet? I received my RT Cats on Tuesday and had them installed the same day. There was a noticeable SOTP difference and really woke up the sound of the car. I had the muffler delete done into 4" Magnaflow tips before it and now it sounds nasty!!! People look at me like WTF. I would think the high flows with a cam are good for atleast another 10 rwhp in your case.

The cats finally shipped last week, their ETA is this coming Tuesday. I sure hope they make a difference, but for 275 shipped I'm not going to get greedy either.

what rpm did the power peak at? 6300-6400?
You don't know anything about these cars, huh? Most gain 25rwhp from just headers, this car should gain more. Easy 390+rwhp with headers.
