Those numbers don't sound bad for this cam and especially through a high stall a4. Trying to get mine dyno'd again in the next few weeks, biggest change since #s below were the lid and porting heads. I'm also running midlength headers. I really don't care if I'd pick up another 5hp or so with LT's. These are a high quality coated ss headers that look and fit great with no issues.

I have a cutout I can bolt in in place of my orp/bullet section, just havnt used it for a while. Going to get some skinnies for added inurance too 
. If my last run would have been in some good fall weather I would have got there anyway I'm sure. Well see who gets there first

Don't get too hung up on dyno numbers, see what it runs at the track. Make sure the engine is running in perfect order as well.
My old setup was some local crappy ported heads, CC305 cam, long tube and typical bolt-ons through a 4L60E and an EDGE 3400 stall. The car would run consistent 12.3Xs at 110mph but only put down 290 RWHP on a mustang dyno. The dyno operator said loose stalls/auto are good at eating up HP on a dyno. The same day a cam and bolt-on LT1 6-speed car put down 340rwhp but couldn't crack a 12 second run and was trapping a little less than me. This was also in the middle of July in Iowa where you can see the humidity in the air.

You put a car on a 228r cam only car? With similar mods? Was it a stick? Cause your cam is smaller than that and I don't see it unless driver couldn't drive or had less supporting mods/no tune etc. Not calling you a liar but he should have got you by half a car to a car.

I had a cutout in on my last dyno run, that was a few years back though. I dont have a copy of my last run but I recall HP peaked around 61-6200, not sure where the tq was at. Depending on how good your exhaust is you may see a gain. I know they are a big gain with stock exhaust, not sure how good it is with the borla.

Right after the Y, where the cat would go. I have a flange there and normaly run a bullet muffler but have a cutout that can bolt there too. Also have a single cat that goes there but havent used it in years since I dont have emissions testing anymore

I'm gonna run her at the track, but do you think LONG TUBES are gonna help a lot? Or a little? Or should I just do a cut-out? I want your opinion...
