Nice.
However I would still recommend to people to do the PI swap first. Guys have made 280+rwhp with stock PI cams.

I'd say either do the PI swapor FI the non-PI. Not both unless you address the high compression ratio you wind up after doing the PI swap. It's not very FI friendly.

Just got a call from the shop who did my Mongoose kit SQ trim install....Keep in mind my car is a 1997 Mustang GT, AUTO, stock non pi heads/cams/intake...all i have is full bolt ons. My dad told me all of this so when I pick the car up tomorrow I will personally talk to the guy who did the tuning...but the car made 315rwhp, 365tq....he said something about my 90mm maf is pegged too so he could get me more hp but thats stopping him or something due to the 4inch boost pipe, I also think im only making around 8lbs of boost....well all in all im very pleased with the numbers. My next steps are a Paxton A/A intercooler, PI Intake Manifold, and a Mini Race bpv!!

second, your 90mm lighting maf simply cannot be pegged, something else is wrong. I am running the same MAF making 420~ WHP and 410 FT/LBs without even touching the powerlevel of the maf.
Hell, it comes on 450 horsepower lightings stock...
I assume the TQ is so much higher than the HP because of the restrictive stock NPI stuff? Thats crazy to see a vortech dyno with more TQ than horsepower.
In any case, I think you have more potential in the car. Find someone else to tune it and get it setup right, that 90mm maf should be way more than enough for what you want/need.

First of all, why are you having someone else tune a MPH kit? Does MPH not offer a NPI tune ?
