Talking educated guess?

Well everyone the wife FINALLY let me modify the stang now I was hoping someone could give me an educated guess on what kind of power I can look to gain after everything gets installed. Rene at CJ PONY PARTS helped me by taking the order, getting everything shipped, and everything sent correctly haha. But my list is as follows:
starting out with a 2009 GT/CS......
JLT cold air intake
BBK throttle body 65mm
BBK underdrive pulleys
HOT ROD CAMS
as soon as its released FORD RACING INTAKE MANIFOLD
BBK shorty headers
BBK Xpipe
FLOWMASTER 4'' exhaust
3.73 rear gears
all tuned on a 93 octane tune.....
as you can see the visa is now melted lol.....(couldnt get the new heads this round maybe a few paychecks ie MONTHS from now)
thanks everyone and hope to see everyone in my rear view mirror lol

I'd expect 335-345 RWHP.

it's all in the tune and your location. if you're at sea level you get a lot more power than if you're up in the mountains.

oh yeah, I'd add this to your list, I know I gained power from it.

http://www.brenspeed.com/wp346s.html

I dyno'd 288whp on the axle back exhaust and water pump alone, stock tune. I'd bet I would have been close to 300whp just by adding a tune if I would have stayed all motor. the water pump definitely added power, I didn't notice any performance from the exhaust but I felt the extra power up top from the water pump.

I concur. If you gt all the parts listed above, including the intake, I would say closer to 350 rwhp, properly tuned of course.

310 RWHP, +/-5

320 RWHP IF the cams, TB and intake manifold are working in harmony with a well-adjusted tune.
