We have gotten to the 500rwhp mark very easily with our heads/cam. Will idle perfect on startup, max a/c on blast. Give us a call or PM me for further details.

I know JRP already stated as much but dang . . . some of you guys posting in this thread have been around a while . . . I at least expected Lyle to know as much

500 rwhp N/A 346 is by NO MEANS easy; but it is doable.

I'll let you guys know how close it is on my set-up in 2 weeks

Lyle, when are we gonna run motor for motor??
Whats up? You don't come on here much anymore, you still work at the Cabera!!!

We'd better run'em soon, because most likely the set-up will be upgraded, and quite alot

You talk to Julio/Derek anymore? I tried setting up a race for Julio the other day with a 779RWHP SC'ed Mach 1 Stang down in Miami.....the guy said he wanted no part of his car

I was just looking at your sig. Did you really lose THAT much horsepower going to a TH350? Tell me it's not so

Probably not a lockup 350...therefore you cant lock the convertor on the dyno hence the theoretical power loss. I bet it is immensely quicker at the track however.

408WS6: Yes we did, actually now the numbers are 448rwhp SAE, just redyno tuned the car. This is through a NON lockup converter so the loss is pretty drastic on the dyno. Although the car has gone 10.33 compared to 10.72 with the mn6 so we are happy.

okay, you asked about 500rwhp originally. there have been more than a few replies showing you how, and now you want to do a 180 and go FI? i don't get you.

500 RWHP? What about 600 or 700? 500 Isnt even that much anymore it seems. I see some of the TT Cobra kits with 800+, 857 to be exact! That makes me not even want to drive my car! When will this ever end?
