the only main difference from yours to mine is my heads are ported,and i have cats and different headers.Different dynos.i wonder what your would do on a dyno jet.It would be a nice comparison to mine then.nice work.

Very good and a Mustang dyno at that. Also interesting to see you could still use the 30# injectors for that horsepower level and still maintain the AFR. I have been toying with changing out my 30 pounders for my next upgrade.
Looks like your quench is .035". Also what do you figure your compression ratio is?

Thanks for the comments, guys. The car is very drivable – idle doesn’t yet always behave. My original 346 with the same intake, heads, exhaust, but a smaller cam (Comp XR265HR 212/218 .558/.563 115 LSA) made 393 hp on a Dynojet at a shop that is no longer in business. If I had used another Dynojet, I would have a better indication of the gain from the new cam. Redtail’s numbers make me want some better heads. The 30# injectors reach 90% duty cycle. My quench is .035”, Compression ratio is about 10.3:1 I don't think I would gain much from a better induction path - MAP stays above 98 kPA at WOT.
