No, it is not possible, rear wheel OR flywheel.

With my below listed mods (every bolton + cams and tune) I am making something around 322 flywheel horsepower, or 280 RWHP. Some people claim to have made/make 280 RWHP with no cams, but I stronly beileve (as do others) that their dynos were screwed up when they did this.

BTW this is for a SOHC 99-04 GT car, not a DOHC car or a 05+ GT.

hahaha. the 05 can get right around there with a new intake and SCT and removing that little honey comb thing.

yes, i'm jealious of the 05s great power potential with just simple boltons. [:@]

LT headers, o/r xpipe, straight through catback, CAI, throttle body, plenum, u/d pulleys, tune.

You may possibly touch 320-325 at the motor.

Right around 340RWHP here, but it has been a long and expensive road.

With 322 flywheel you're pretty darn close and you don't REALLY have every bolt-on. Where's your P-51 intake from Fox-Lake? How about the Mezie electric water pump? You have a manual Rack or still using that power steering? Have you bumped up your timing to near-ping on the highest available octane? You have a light-weight/smaller diameter flywheel?... All I'm saying is that there are still some options available. I think you're dyno results showed you had lean A/F ratio as well so I bet with some tweaking and timing you could get a little more power. For more power to the wheels, you can throw on some ultra light-weight small wheels with thin tread tires, ultra light weight rear brake discs, carbon-fiber driveshaft with aluminum yokes, lightweight clutch and pressure-plate (to go with the new flywheel). Afterthat you can go to dumps and get rid of your cat-back all together. You could remove your filter for the dyno for a couple more hp.... There's always a little more. Plus, how cold was your engine/intake when you dynoed it? Some people ice it down or let it cool off completly so that could explain their numbers.

I would go with a Catback of your choice preferably Bassani and a nice mid pipe, Long tubes,Tunner,CAI,Throttle body,pleanum,gears wont give you no horsepower but will give you a nice boost in acceleration. probably be around 310HP just guessing? RWHP mybe 300

Way off gray ghost. With those mods maybe 260 to the wheels.

Let me take a stab at it.

P-51 Intake with a Lightning MAF, No Screen and a Huge Filter strapped on to it or no filter for that matter.
Stage II Naturally Aspirated cams and Valve springs to spin to 7k RPMs. A/C removed, Powersteering removed, Electric Water pump, Underdriven Alternator, lightweight billet idler/tensioner pulleys with the lightest, smallest diameter crank pulley that will still spin the alternator at the underdriven speed. L/T headers with dumps at the end. quarter-master button-style clutch assembly, PST carbonfiber driveshaft with aluminum yokes, slotted/drilled rear discs, 12 lb rear wheels, Spool, EGR delete, 75mm TB...
