Just got back from a dyno run. This is with the stage one performance package from Brenspeed. The package includes a 93 octane race tune with the SCT programmer, Steeda cold air intake, xpipe, and Steeda/Borla axleback mufflers. 425 horses to the rear wheels! I'm happy. For now lol. Oh my air/fuel stayed around 12 at WOT.

Is there anything else in the performance package that we're missing? The stock 5.0 should dyno in the 350-360 RWHP range. A CAI & tune (the X-pipe and axlebacks are not power adders) on the 5.0 has been shown to add roughly 25-30 RWHP. The numbers don't add up to 425 RWHP... What am I missing (besides roughly 45 RWHP)?

Even if that's CRANK HP, it sounds a good bit over-ambitious. But then again, most manufacturers claims are.
I'm not calling you a liar; it just doesn't make sense to me. I'd LOVE to know a 5.0 could put down 425 RWHP with just a tune. I'd be on the phone in a heartbeat trying to locate MINE.
Havnt you heard..NOTHING makes HP according to Nuke..even though he doesnt have any of it or used any of it..he will tell you it only makes zero to 5hp on anything
