Default Typical Gains....

I am sitting at around 300rwhp right now with these performance mods:
C&L street CAI
91 octane Brenspeed tune
Saleen UDPs
Pypes o/r H
Saleen Magnaflow Mufflers (I know these dont help)

Anyways, I have money set aside for a blower come march time so I am in looking to beef the car up for it. I have about $1,200 leftto spend after purchasing the Saleen S/C hood. I was thinking to get the Spydershaft along with longtubes (I can get a good deal on the MAC LT's). What do you guys think I would be sitting at in terms of numbers after these two mods? I might get it custom dyno-tuned after these but think it might be worthless if the blower is coming shortly after. Here are my estimates:

canned tune with these mods: 320rwhp
dyno tune with these mods: 325rwhp

Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks guys

Damn. You think the Long Tubes and the Spydershaft are possibly only worth 10rwhp?! That sounds terrible! haha Hopefully, I am sitting at least around 315rwhp, but like you said, I wont know until I do it...

Mickey -- I'm at 319 and I'm basically a full bolt on aside of a TB, CMCV Deletes, and a electric water pump. I also have shorty's. I haven't been to the dyno since the DS though

Well you are NA still plus its sounds like you already have a good tune, 301 with those mods is pretty good, so you might not pick up a ton with a dyno tune.....

For the DS, I love the feeling you get with the 1 pc, it feels like you dropped 100 lbs of wieght in the car, unsprung wieght is like that (1 to 4) ratio i think, so you lose 20 lbs of wieght in the DS or wheels its like losing 100 lbs of interior ****....the DS frees up HP but not alot really IMO, it just feels faster more or less.

With the ARH LTs I am hoping for 10 HP pickup, I already have a o/r h pipe and since that is the same midpipe I am going to with the new headers, there wont be any added gains there.....I think that 15 HP is respectable if you go from the stock midpipe to an o/r x with the LTs....so you might get 320 but its better to aim low and then get suprised

Very true matt. I will be dissapointed if I end up with 310rwhp though... I heard the Spydershaft can free up around 2-8rwhp...who knows, we will see

So your saying that the ARH LTs will fit the Pypes O/r H Pipe? Thats what you have right?

I hope you do get to 320 but it's really hard to guess what HP gain you'll get per performance mod as each one of our stangs are slightly different. I thought I would be higher then what I was before I got on the dyno and well I was wrong.

I think matt is getting a new mid-pipe, but it, like his current one, is going to be an O/R H pipe. Correct me if I'm wrong matt
