Seems low, definitely. I've seen plenty of Hotcam cars hit that number and then some without a pulley or ported TB.

I think with the cam and all the other bolt-ons you should be pushing at least 400rwhp.

you say dyno tuned - was it a base tune or the FULL dyno tune? I run the TR227 and made 391/379 through the 10 bolt - I picked up like 20 HP from the base tune to the Full Dyno tune from Thunder

I think the question everyone needs to ask before stating that's low is what type of dyno was it?

Anyone who shouts that's low should have been nearer 400rwhp, without knowing what type of dyno is a total PRAT.

If it was on a Mustang dyno then that's a strong number and would equate to over 390rwhp on a Dynojet.

If it was a Dynojet, then maybe it is a tad low, but really who cares a dyno is a tool not a measure. And if you just trapped 115mph I'd say that's pretty respectable.

He said TR dynotuned it and they have a dynojet, therefore I know what it was dynoed on and can make my "it's low" statement.

However, I agree with you on the MPH. Great results for first-time out with the new cam.

The #'s look normal from what I've seen with cars that run a small Cam like that and 4.11 gears.
