Default I don't get it?

So I bought this car off ebay not the smartest thing to do but it seemed to nice to pass up. The guy says its got 300 HP and 350TQ to the wheels, these are its specs:

Engine: DSS 306 fully forged with main girdle. Custom grind Lunati cam 232/232 580/580 lift 112 lobe sep. Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads ported by Fox Lake.

Intake: GT-40 Upper and lower intake with 1/2 phenolic plenum spacer. BBK 70 mm throttle body. Vortech 80 mm mass air meter. 24 lb. injectors. Adjustable fuel pressure reg. BBK cold air kit.

Electronics: MSD Pro Billet dist. MSD 6AL.

Engine Management: Stock EEC-IV custom 4 bank chip professionally tuned by DYNO-SPEED in Memphis (Joe Beagle).

Dyno performance: Car made REAL 300 hp to the rear tires with 350 ft. lbs. torque with street tune. Will make lots more, but I didn't need it for daily driving.

Exhaust: MAC 1 5/8 Equal length ceramic coated shortie headers. 2 1/2 X-Pipe. 1 Chamber Flowmasters.

Transmission: Stock T-5 (perfect condition). King Cobra clutch. Pro 5.0 shifter.

Rear End: Stock 8.8 with Ford Motorsports 3.73 gears.

Wheels and Tires: 17 x 9 Chrome Cobra R's. Federal 245/45/17 with 85% to 90% tread left.

Exterior: Factory color. Fresh paint less then 2 years old. Harwood 2 1/2 cowl hood. Saleen wing. Euro taillights. New 6 peice headlight kit (Blue Oval Industries). New door handles and hinge bushings. Tinted glass.

Interior: All factory gray rated 7 out of 10. Autometer fuel pressure, oil pressure, water temp, 5 inch Sport Comp tach.

Stereo: JVC cd player. 3 JL Audio 10 inch subs. 6 1/2 JL door speakers, 3 1/2 Memphis dash speakers. Pheonix Gold amp on subs. Sony Explode on mids and highs. Professionally installed.

How Come those numbers seem low to me, with the mods it has shouldn't it be pushin higher numbers? That sound like its worth $8500 to you guys?

Thanks guys Lol i know the euros suck...who ever decided to make them for mustangs should be kicked. Dammit only 300HP my brothers car will own mine.....but at least i'll be able to shut the kid in the Jetta up. I won't be able to take the euros off for a while since I've just happily jumped into $9200 dollars of debit, but they will be the first thing changed maybe some smoked ones..

I think 300whp 350wtq is pretty stout for a 306

What the hell does he mean by with a different tune it will make more power, you'd think he would tune it to the max. My brother has a 1989 GT vert with a 347 stroker built by T&L engines, Not in the car yet but its supposed to put out 410+ HP and 410+ TQ. We're still building it but he plans on doing exhaust,gears,suspension, and pretty much everything else to make it go faster. Then when done with the GO we're gunna do some SHOW by finishing his custom interior, new paint, new hood, new rims. I decided to buy mine built after looking at his car sitting in the garage for 7 months and him still spending money on it lol. Its what made me want a mustang, i just made a car domain I'll put both cars up if you want to see.

you should just get a different dyno tune if you think the numbers are low.
