I have no idea what you've just written...but I will just reply with OK...I guess? I did not intend a personal attack...I just can't figure out why you insist on throwing out incorrect opinions to others as fact. Read over some of your previous posts and try and see what I'm getting at...you're in a constant state of providing cam advice...my advice to you in all honesty is to report only on parts that you've infact used. Don't report on what others have stated...as fact...don't mislead others by stating your opinoin in a way that might cause others to interprete your 'thoughts' as fact and cause them to follow your advice. Novice members can be swayed easily....both with correct and incorrect advice so be responsible and helpful.

How can I get 400rwhp from a 306, like what brands are best what setups have done this? Im just trying to get a rough idea for witch direction I will go. Now i know about strokers and s/c nitrous but I'm not talking about that, so don't bother telling me thats easier or cheaper because that not the question.
extremely high compression, race fuel, some killers heads, cam and a good tuner.

cheaper to have a 347 . you see, your talking about 400 RWHP , which meens you have like 472 at the flywheel factoring an 18% drivetrain loss, thats gonna take alot of work.

Good luck with all the answers.....you obviously have a much better grasp of this whole mustang scene than I could ever hope. Guess I'll just take my trophy collection and go home while you continue on your quest to inform everyone on what really works. Must be comforting to know your wealth of mustang knowledge is based so solidly in the deep pool of internet forum spew of myths and stories.

IF that guy really does knock down 325rwhp, then there is a LOT more to his combo than he's leading on. A simple AFR 165, E cam EFI combo on a stock shortblock will not get anywhere near an honest 325rwhp. Now I have seen some generous dynos, maybe he found one. But if he claims to have a simple bolt on EFI combo with AFR 165s, E cam and ANY intake and makes 325rwhp, that's BS.

On a TRUE AS BUILD BY THE FORD FACTORY FROM87-95stock shortblock (I've seen many, many people claim to have stock shortblocks but will eventually admit they were rebuilt to "stock" specs) with stock style EFI, 320+rwhp takes an excellent selection of parts, a custom cam 95% of the time and generally a few small things like possibly electric fans, a/c deleted, no power steering, etc. The top true stock shortblock EFI cars get into the low 330rwhp range and they are ALWAYS something like an FTI or CI car.
Well stated point I think. I admit for myself I was shocked atmy peak numbers for such a mild combo of parts..I was looking for a nice broad power band...which I did receive...but was rewarded withdecent peak numbers as well...alot of that is a result of some excellent port work on the Eddy heads and tuning by our local SCT guy.

theres ALOT of magazine preachers in this 5.0 section for some reason.... too many kiddies who havent actually messed with the parts. im no guru or anything, but working as a machinist doing valve jobs and seeing motors get built everyday kinda gives a worthy perspective.
