Default 50hp from a cam swap on a 2v?

in the march 2007 "muscle mustangs and fast fords" madazine theres a article that says 50hp from stage 2 crower cams. it said bone stock with just a fox lake p51 intake the car made 297 hp....after the cams it made 345...that sounded a little weird to me....can you really get that much power from stage 2 cams? and does that p51 intake really do that much for a car?

I was wondering the same thing. Even more impressive then the peak gain is how much more it made up through the entire band. If all that is true, I better start saving some $$$$

Hell...I've heard more like 15 hp on a stockish setup.

What year GT did they do this on...?

I saw the article too and you have to realize it's on an engine dyno and not RWHP, but still impressive

50hp WITH THE P-51 Intake sounds feasible, definitely not rwhp, are you sure they didnt touch the heads, even a lil rubby dub?
