400RWHP on a mustang dyno with LT's, CAI, catted-X, and tune...that's gotta be the highest dynoing setup I've seen on a C5Z for those mods. Most on here/CF are around 380-390 on a dynojet but then again every dyno is different. Any plans on taking it to the track?

It is my dad's car, as future mods he is still unsure if he really wants to do anything, he enjoys it as is. And since he enjoys it, it will never see a track pass, but it'll prob get mile after mile put on lol.

Really high numbers for just Exhaust, tune, and intake. I hope the car makes it to the track at least once. Even if the et isnt where it should be, I just want to see the mph.

Really as my sons with tell ya , i have thought of cam if i had a lower straight tq , for me i'm not into high rpms i want the power through my complete tq band, since already have the hood my first choice would be a Maggie polished or powder coated, will see. For me everyone has a great ride i like the camaraderie of all owners just like my former soldiers.

Thanks for the comments

Note that the dyno sheet states "Engine Power" and "Engine Torque" not rear wheel.

Nice ride. Which wheels are those?

Mustang displays HP & Torque as "Engine", no option to display rear wheel. WC means Weather Corrected.

The point is, is that I personally like to see what my money/mods got me in actual performance. There is alot of people that beat on their chest about there dyno #'s and then when they go to the track it don't reflect what the dyno said. The track also helps with street driving because you figure out what the car likes to make it go better.....which helps you enjoy life

I am going to find a Maggie for this thing, you'l see. What I find funny is the fact the headers/catback was installed for sound. The dyno is just what it was, a dyno after it was tuned. It gained 30 HP with the headers, cat back and exhaust nothing too strange about that. Welcome to the board........

Believe me i do understand the point, not beating chest, having driven more cars than i care to remember withover 40 yrs of driving i really didn't need a dyno to tell me what i had, back then dyno's were never heard of, just posting a simple dyno, which everyone does and provide simple conversation, not my cup of tea , going to track anymore with hair on fire for 10-11 secounds, heck , i dont even have the hair to burn. HA HA Have a great day! Enjoy

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it on the corvette forum. I was going to post and call BS but it wasn't even worth it.

But.... a dyno is a dyno and in your case, good numbers! I was looking at the XS headers too.
