Dyno Numbers In!!
Well, for all of you who said a mustang dyno will give me 360, 370, or even 380....I'm glad you were wrong. I hit 411/379 today at straitline performance in New Lenox. And yes, thats on a mustang dyno. The tuner, Mike, is awesome and really knows his stuff, along with the other owners. Very nice guys
peak HP was at 6400 RPM. I will have to post dyno sheet monday at work and make a PDF file of it.

Very solid numbers!
With a similar cam (225/225), Kooks LTs w/no cats, TSP 5.3L heads, and UD pulley, my car put down 437 rwhp and 400 rwtq on a Dynojet dyno. I would say adjusting for the different kind of dynos, our numbers would be VERY similar.

Are you running the stock 3.42 gears? If so, I recommend your next mod be gears. 3.90s or 4.10s will really compliment your setup. I ran the stock gears for a year, after doing my heads/cam/headers setup. Once I got enough money together, I upgraded to a DTE stage 2 with 3.90s and LUK Pro Gold clutch. I couldn't believe how well the gears complimented the heads/cam setup! They really help shoot you up into your power band.

Very good numbers..my cam is a 224/224 and I have the LG LT headers with hi-flo cats along with my other mods in my sig. I'm running a 3:42 rear end.
My numbers are 397.13 RWHP and 377.27 RWTQ on my '97 A4. With the A4 I didn't get the 400 RWHP I wanted but close to it.
Here is my dyno sheet.
