I am curious to see what you guys think. What do you guys think i would put down on the dyno?

My mods:
Lid/Filter
85mm MAF/ Bellow
Ported TB
CAI
LT's/ Duals

Thanks for your input!

Edit: street tune w/ HpTuners

Man take off the mass airflow sensor. Trust me, it will ruin your car. The stock one flows good enough as it is. That said, without a tune, it might not add that many ponies. Find someone with HP Tuners, or a programmer that actually works (Not the HPP3 :p).

Long tubes usually add around 20-25whp, lid about 2-5whp, and true duals a good 10whp I would imagine. I'd say you will make a good 340whp/360wtq. Your torque will be sick.

BTW, is the CAI a fast toys ram air kit? You won't see that power on the dyno, only while the car is moving.

I have a street tune with hp tuners. I forgot to mention that. The MAF has been on the car for a long time and has no problems.

And i know the Cai doesnt add any hp on the dyno

You should add all the mods, and then go to the track on February 10. I know someone that will run you (Whistles in background).

I'd say 350/350, and x2 on the removal of the MAF. Your stock MAF can support up to 475+ RWHP, so it isn't a restriction. The addition of the 85mm MAF slowed my car down dramatically without any "trouble". I swapped from the 85mm lid/MAF back to the SLP lid/stock MAF and gained a .5 second and 3 mph. That put the car back to what it ran before I put the larger parts on there. That was the first mod that "lost" me power.

I feel you on the illegal racing. I need to think about the track.

Hey it's definitely not worth losing your car. Plus you can always find an inexperienced driver in a 03 Cobra to race

What else was done besides Full exhaust and cam? What type of headers? (LT's, mids, shorties)

Dont take it the wrong way. I think the numbers were a little low but i made a quick judgement with out knowing all the facts.

So please inform...

I'm guessing the automatic saps alot of power, as I don't have full exhaust, but have a Z06 cam, and a few other odds and ends, as you can see from my sig, and I made 351whp.

Of course my car is still torque less though. Should've gotten some headers
