That PSI reading sounds high, with a 3.6 pulley you probably only saw 7-8 PSI.

Either way, sounds about right for an auto.

My buds car with the same 3.6 pulley and a manual made 357 rwhp.

I was running a intercooler an a 3.15 pulley making about 10-11 psi with an si trim and my car made 370s- 384 rwhp was the max it ever laid down through the auto with that setup. obviously the car ran very well so its not all about the dyno

Definitely what I'm looking to do at the end of this year. I just want to get through the spring and summer having fun with it first.

I would put your money into heads and cams. My buddy made 525rwhp at 5000rpm (ran out of fuel system) on 10lbs with a D1 with ported heads and CMS 2.5 blower cams.

Was that on a 2V? I assume so. Thats pretty damn nice I like to hear that, but a D1 is a bad mawfuka. Why get a D1 for a 2V? Cant that thing spin to like 30 PSI? I don't see any 2V gobbling up 30 PSI of air.

What was his fuel system? Long tubes?

Seeing those numbers makes me feel very hopeful about my goals. I'm hoping to possibly see 600RWHP out of my setup with Stage III heads, 75MM TB, Stage II-III cams and 16 PSI out of my blower. I know thats a tall order and my builder felt pretty certain I had no chance at that. Either way i'm gonna have a tune setup to try to spray my way up to 600RWHP if I don't make it(methanol). My auto and little blower will probly stop me from hitting the goal though.

517hp 456tq @11psi Exact mods are Vortech with 3.33 pulley, aftercooler, MHS stage I blower cams, MAC LT, Lethal X-pipe, SLP PowerFlo cat-back, Anderson Power Pipe, 60lb injectors, 90mm MAF, and twin super car pumps.

That was with a v2 blower stock shortblock and blower cams in the stock heads. Since its a bullitt the factory bullitt intake. http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...d-today-2.html

This was the car



He had my stock heads ported by my friend(probably the best head porter in the country), TFS intake also ported, CMS stage 2.5 blower cams, forged bottom end, longtubes, catback. He had 1 gt40 pump and a (bandaid) boost a pump.

If he ever spends more then 4 months in country he is going to upgrade his fuel system and pulleys and shoot for 750rwhp.

Well got my car back and it felt good until it popped a code. I don't know why I didn't see these issues before I got it. The IAT sensor built in to my original MAF I need to rewire to the the discharge dude.

The 2 outside wires of the MAF connector are the IAT wires. Polarity doesn't matter
