I have headers, xpipe, axleback, c&L cold air, and an sct dyno tune. 4.10 gears and Hurst shiftertoo. 302hp, 317trq and 13.6 at 105mph on street tires (2.20 60ft). My guess is that drag radials and a day or two more at the track and I'll be near the 12s. I'm happy. That being said, I've got the Brenspeed stage 3 cams/springs/retainers kit, and once I get off my butt and order the gaskets for the job, will get them installed and gain a few more horses. My tuner is curious about how much the cams will really provide, and we'll do another dyno tune. Should know in a few weeks.

Oh, I had motor mounts installed as well. God guys, I am just really bummed. 330HP numbers were really my goal, I thought the Denny's DS would just put icing on the cake. It's disheartening!!!!

yeah, I think I know which tuner your talking about.... He will not get the most out of your car (from experience), but he wont break it either. I shot you a PM on my thoughts.
Try plan -B and use him to dyno only!!

RE: Dissapointed to say the least.
I would be suprised if it was the tuner, I mean I was RIGHT THERE when he was tuning it, and he tried several different things, adding timing and such, but the 306 was the highest. I mean the tuner is famous in WI for his work, he knows his stuff, and it wasn't a mail order tune, it is custom. HP curve does look sweet though, it holds over 300 for almost 1500 RPM's. I really don't think it's the tuner, I have heard only POSITIVE stuff about the guy, and I have no reason to believe it has anything to do with the tune.

RE: Dissapointed to say the least.
I mean the shop charged me $900 (labor only, I bought everything myself)for the following, which I think was VERY reasonable:
Headers
H-pipe
Driveshaft
Control Arms (upper and lowers)
motor mounts
Delete plates
Custom tune
Again, I really don't think it was the tuner, he was great through everything and definitly knows Mustangs inside and out, he owns 2 currently, and has owned lots more just from the conversations I have had with him!!
