2000 Formula Bolt on
Wow, you guys are harsh. I know Jake ('00formula), and I have been in his car. It is does not have aftermarket heads or cams like some of you are saying. It only has what he says it has. His tune is damn near perfect. Maybe the dyno was reading a little high, but his car is legit.
Your right, I did have a K&N filter... ohh and also a lid and a cat-back that was stock of an 02. Good point about the peak rpms.

If your car really is bolt-on only and the numbers are correct, the hp graph should look similar, only higher and possibly slightly moved to the right.
Not drastically moved to the right.
My car peaks around 5200-5300rpm.
Your car is peaking at ~6000rpm's, way too high for stock heads and cam.

Alright I guess I will respond to this. I think the numbers are indeed STD and therefore are 2-3% high so corrected for that gives 365ish. Now for every little knit picking detail of the car because someone is mad that another car could possibly make more power than theirs; it has SLP ram air with lid and bellows, descreened maf, PP TB, ls6 intake, LTs headers with TSP duals, at the time of dyno the car had all new fluids and a brand new set of ngk plugs (which I don't consider a mod). My car is a late 2000 and also has 241 heads, but doubt thats worth any real significant gain, I have owned the car since 20k miles and the owner before me (first owner) worked with me and the car does not have anymore mods than this.
And FAST_LS1 my car did not peak at 6000 it peaked at 5650, which doesn't seem way high to me. The car does have duals over you and that will cause the shift. And just so you know the later cars you are refering to are the 01-02 cars, there is no such thing as a 03 F-car.

For uncorrected hp numbers they sound perfectly reasonable.
The DA, humidity, and temperature all play a major role.
I never go to the track if I know I'll only make 352rwhp, I only go when the DA is greatly in my favor.
Edit: Thread from a long time ago on highest rwhp internally stock engine.
