yeah, you're going to need a hell of a tune to get 300rwhp with what you're working with... good luck though

stage 2 cams you should be hitting 300rwhp tho i thought? unless your on an auto. from what ive seen stage 1 cams will hit around 290-295 on a full bolton PI gt, and stage 2's will hit right around 300.

thats with a dyno tune also.

not so much. with stage 2 cams, the norm is to see right around 290rwhp and with a helluva tune you'll find 300rwhp barely. But for that you would need something like CMS/Hitech stage 2's, which you would need ground intake valves or new intake valves to make work without having to worry about ptv clearance.

Are you just running a preset tune from the Predator? What octane did you select, have you tweaked anything else?

Do you have a wide band O2 system? You can't really do much tuning without one...
