I'm at work right now, but as soon as I can get an answer I will let you know.
I am hoping we can get all this rain behind us, and I can get out there in the next day or so to see for myself.

Numbers are starting to look about right. Hopefully you got a good tuner so drivability doesn't suck (bucking, surging, idle hunting). I had horrible drivability from an inexperienced tuner with just a mild cam (Ragin' Racin' Lethal that wasn't initially installed and tuned by them).

Actually Katech dyno'd both the halltech and the K&N, and they were statistically equal. You may be thinking of the Airaid, it was down about 10 hp from the above two.

The original Cam was bigger than this one and I had to replace it.....it was way to much for what I wanted.
Well, you're going to need to wait a couple of days for that to happen.

I did the same type of build (vette tube) Mustang At7k Thing is minutes before tear down a baseline dyno was done.At the time i had no idea how many dyno arguements it would avoid. It told me exactly what my drivetrain loss was(421 =16.5%-505) (521.4=642) and for the last 3kmi.its been trouble free. A safe tune is what i wanted so i would have something left to go further with.Good luck. Make sure you have real 1.8 cam lobe lift numbers instead of comps 1.7 specs.

The base line on the Mustang Dyno was 399 RWHP

Does it run right? Feel strong? Don't get too wrapped up in dyno numbers as they all read differently. Plus, I've had so many customers read online that so-n-so made such-n-such HP on the same combo, but be down by 30-40 HP....only to run .5 seconds quicker on the track. Dyno's are tools to measure...and all calibrated differently.

It's a tool to measure how cool a person is on a forum, scientifically proven by scientists......
Ha of course, but it was out of curiosity. His car seems strong!
Btw were those SAE numbers?

100-120 rwhp heads cam intake system and exhaust is what you get. More then that is fooling yourself. And clutch time.
