HP questions??
I have 99 Vert. MN6 with air intake MAF and borla's how much RWH have people dyno'd with this setup?
What would be stock for RWH?
How can I get to 350RWH? Does the edit tuning help?

Went to a dyno-day at APE last week and we found the stock C5's pulling 295-305 rwhp on their Mustang dyno.
I pulled 298 on my 99 with stick,Stingers, cold air intake (same setup as yours).
After installing LG longtubes and dyno-tuning, I pulled 325 on the same dyno. Not bad.
You have to remember that a Mustang dyno is very conservative. A Dyno-Jet dyno will show approx 5-10% better numbers.
Use dyno numbers as a base only. The track is where it really counts.

Also, cold air boxes almost never show their colors on a dyno, for a variety of reasons. The MAF mods are generally limited to going bigger and removing the screen, which can actually hurt or give no performance gains at all.
The LS1 edit is worth it in the right hands-thing CAGS 1-4 skip eliminated, think lower thermostat and fans coming online 25 degrees earlier, etc. I have a friend who dynoed before and after conservative editing and gain 10/15 RWHP/TQ. The more mods you have, the more important it is to get edited.
320-340 RWHP will require headers with High Flow/no cats as a minimum (some HF cats aren't very HF either! Metal matrix are the way to go, like on the LG's-which will give you the most power also-pretty much hands down). I doubt you will see an LS1 350 RWHP with boltons, unless someone plays with the dyno to make you happy.
Good luck!

I don't think your going to see 350 rwhp ( at least on a Mustang dyno ) without bolt-ons and a cam.Mark
