It could hit 500 whp on a mustang Dyno. Whats that on a dyno jet?
Eating LS7's for breakfast. Wasn't 2002 Z06's the best year?
02 for sure best year and with heads, def in the 1000RWHP range. Taking veyrons left and right!

From the back, the exhaust drowns the cam sound. You can hear it from any other direction though. If I ever decide to get headers, the borla straight would have to go.

Yeah I was thinking same...w/ ported TB, ARH 1-3/4 headers w/ catted X, vararam CAI, new valve springs my car has put down between 384-391whp (on mustang dyno - when headers were first installed/tuned hit 384, made 7 more whp same dyno same mods months later) SO I was thinking/hoping I would be somewhere in the 420-430 range w/ a "medium" cam that was sill streetable.

So I guess right @ 400whp CAI/cam only sorta makes sense & w/ full length headers breathe even better gaining an extra 20-30whp seems plausible for sure

The stock TI catback sounds great w/ intake/headers I can attest....and w/ a cam would be perfect

I mention this because you say it's a daily driver. Easy to be running a little late for work one winter morning... crank the car and at the intersection you can dodge a long line of traffic by gassing it just a bit... and little did you know you just cracked an inner spring.

I've got nearly the same cam and love it. Avatar picture is the engine.

That is great advice, thank you! I usually dont get on it until I see about 150* temps on oil. Sometimes you just cannot help it

Your engine looks like it makes just a hair of hp over mine
