the full kit, with all bolt ons should push around 350 Hp with a good tune, or so I was told, my car is in the final stages and should be on the dyno soon, I will post the results as soon as I get them.

but what are you looking for, quite frankly if I get didnt that good fo a deal on it I would have gone with a bigger cam.

I put down 330 rwhp and 345rwtq on a Mustang dyno with just the hotcam kit with LTs and ORY. Still missing a lot of bolt-ons, so there is still a lot of room for improvement.

If you want to see the dyno graph and pics:

this is what I did to my car and I hope I put down 350+whp, If I get 350 I will be really happy, aything more (whish I highly doubt) would be great.

Performance Mods: (Overhauled Engine)

.020 over size pistons, cam, fully roller valvetrane
(1.6rr's, springs, retainers, locks.. etc), Hardened push
rods, New heads with hand p&p, 58mm BBK TB, Moroso cold air
intake with High flow trick flow elbow , Hooker long tube
Headers, Ory, Magna flow cat back, ! all emission BS, fully
built A4 with trans Go Shift Kit, TCI torque converter.
Transmission oil cooler.

Non performance:
new cooling system, new fuel lines, new water pump, new oil
pump (high volume), new filters and fluids all around, new
wiring all around, including ignition and spark plugs, New
sensors all around.

I'm sure there is something that I missed, adn I might change the TB from 58 to 52, Im not sure yet.

Edit, wish some one would give ma an insight about the mods and the TB size.
