Default Baseline 1999 Formula bolt on dyno

Just got my 1999 Formula dyno'd on a dynapak.

The car:
Mac Mids
MTI lid
LS1 intake
Stock tb
EGR and AIR intact
Dynomax dump
Taylor wires
Basic tune (probably just afr)
105k miles
A4
2.73

Dyno'd:
302rwhp/324rwtq UNLOCKED

Not too bad for a basic bolt on 99 with 853 heads I don't think. I do think it needs a full tune though. I have a feeling the headers and exhaust actually hurt me because it's not tuned to accommodate them. Oh well, I have LS6 intake/injector set going on before I get it tuned!

I'm open to opinions/mod suggestions if you guys got them!

It was perdy rich, 12.3-12.4 across the board. I looks like some one did a basic tune for afr before really modding the car. Once I get the LS6/28lb injectors on I am getting a full tune. I'd expect ~330rwhp or so with a good tune. Don't think that is asking too much.

Is there a reason your swapping Injector out? The ones in there should support bolt on power quite easily.

The 28lb are pretty fresh, and the stockers have about 105k miles on them, figure it can't hurt to swap them out. I've also got a ported TB I did that will go on at the same time. It's basically the whole intake setup I used on my cammed 6.0 in my 1989.
