Default Numbers seem low

I dynoed my car in Nov. and my best run was 313.6hp and 325.8tq. Don't these seem low for a Firehawk with my mods (in sig)???

Yeah, I say your are missing about 17 hp. Have you ever had it tuned for the mods?

First off, slp longtubes are notorious for not being exactly the greatest. Secondly, I'll bet that with your 85mm maf and longtubes you are in GREAT need of a tune. Was this done on a dynojet or a mustang/superflow/etc. ?

If I were you, I'd sell that 85mm maf and put your stocker back on and use the money from your maf and get a tune. The maf does nothing but cause problems on *most* cars.

I was told by the guy I bought it from that it was dyno tuned in Phoenix (where I bought it). I'm definitely not too impressed with the SLP headers, plus they've been beat to **** by the previous owner. All the mods were done by the previous owner too.

It was dynoed on a DynoJet.

As I said, get rid of the maf, get it RETUNED because you're in completely different weather/climat/air etc. Trust me. It'll be night and day with those two changes. Trust me, I'm from salt lake city and I currently live in gilbert AZ so I know
