Just out of curiousity, what kinda numbers could one expect from this MS4 cam (stock heads and something like a Patriot head)? What are the specs (for the rookies such as myself). Thanks for the info and that thing sounds just wicked!!!

I dynoed the other day and got 440 RWHP. My TQ was erratic on their machine so I didn't count that.( 402 when tuned and all over the map peaked 463) The tuner at that particular shop looked at my tune and believes there is at least 10-20 more left in there but I am more concerned with drive ability than numbers.

Wow 440 rwhp at the wheels and no heads!!! I'd call that impressive. In regards to driveability, think it is still worthy of longer road trips and the like after the tune? I assumme it is a whole lot of fun and a hand full in the power/traction department now. Congrats!!!

I think its trip worthy, just not economical. I cant use 5th under 60 with out surging or 6th under 65. at 65 MPH its getting @23mpg currently. I just ordered a AEM WB gauge so there will be more tuning in the future and better mileage when its done.

Are you doing all of the tuning yourself or did you have HPE tune it? Can you tweak the tune after installing the wideband or will you start from scratch?

I did the initial tuning. Then had Chuck from HPE do his work ( without wideband ) When the WB gets here Ill start tuning the VEtables. No starting from scratch...LOL.....too much trouble

I just read that you got 440 rwhp out of it; pretty impressive. I have tsp heads and a ported fast 90/90 w/ yella terra rockers on top of what you have and am only at 462. I think our cams are comprable.
