Btw, look forward to seeing your dyno results. I would expect 450rwhp at least. With a more open exhaust... 470-480 would probably be possible.

I will be finding out Saturday afternoon. I am far to impatient to wait the entire winter, plus I would rather just pull it out of the garage in the spring ready to go.

If I redo the exhaust it'll be to get rid of the cats since I do not need emissions anymore, and to add a flowmaster merge. I love the sound of the dual/dual to much, and I've never heard anything about it restricting flow.

Just build your Y pipe with the flow merge and a cutout, or two if you want open headers.

Yes sir, 10am. Reminder to all, the car is still on the stock clutch, I already have a McLeod sitting on the shelf, but that was a winter project. I am just to impatient to wait all winter for the tune, and hopefully the clutch won't slip for a few pulls. Never had a problem with it, smelled it and the miles aren't high.

Nice man, sounds like a nice setup. Here is my setup:

Forged 347ci
AI 219cc HCR 853s 58cc w/ BTR .660 Platinum springs
Stock rockers w/ Comp trunion upgrade
FAST 92/NW 92
SLP UD Pulley
SLP Loudmouth exhaust
ARH 1 3/4" Longtubes & 3" ORY
FTP 98mm lid
BTR SLR lifters
85mm MAF
PST driveshaft
Strange S60 4.10 gears

And I am M6. which are you A4 or M6? Our builds are pretty similar except for my shortblock and the heads. I am still shooting for 450-460 rwhp for my setup. Im currently cam shopping so thats the reason for wanting to see your results. Either this cam or the tick SNS stage 3 cam.

Sounds like a solid setup. How did the cam act on the street with the 347? If you can remember what was the rwtq?

I cant remember the trq to be honest. But she jumps around like a beast when you try to take off. But i like ripping up the pavement lol. & i had to pit 456 rear end gears in it. Cause at 65 with the 410s it was at about 1700rpms & was alil jumpy at 65. If you ran 70 at 2000 it rubs great down the high way. So with the 456 it runs about 2000rmps at 65. So its perfect. Just take off sucks & below 2000 thousand in town she wants to rip up pavement

Lol cool man. Trying to get some opinions/first hand thoughts of 23x/24x cam guys to see what they think about them on the street. Didn't mean to hijack your thread OP. Ready to see your results tomorrow!

I posted the graph and had a little write up in that link. I thought I took a video of the pull but I just took pictures like an idiot. Oh well on that.

Wow I was expecting a lot more. Oh well as you say dynos are just tuning tools. Let us know what it runs at the track if you can before winter. Still think on another dyno it woulfve been closer to 450 but who knows. Still solid setup man thanks for posting.

It was still building power and it was a mustang dyno. Spinning it to 6600+ and a dynojet with a reconfigured exhaust I'm sure it would put up hero numbers.

Ya, damn Mustang dynos. Mine made 413 on a Mustang and the operator said they read 8-10% lower than other types.
