I dunno if I'd say that high.. I was gonna say about 280 at the flywheel (obviously less to the wheels.)

280 to the wheels? really? I was only pushing 250 to the wheels when I was running 4 PSI of boost (until I got my pulley problem worked out.) That was without the water / meth too, but still!

Theres a guy on here with P heads, E cam, stock intake, but he's sct dyno tuned and puttin down 276 RWHP, i was comparing to that. But that dyno tune proly helped out alot. And p heads flow better than 40's. But without a tune, it may not be as much, not too sure how much a tune helps on a fox. I know the sn's computers suck when it comes to mods, and foxs takes mods pretty well.

i have a 95 cobra with full exhaust, msd igniton, of course all the gt40 stuff because its a cobra and cold air and a z cam, i put down 260 rwhp im positive that my cam is completely wrong for me but the guy i bought it from put it in and it feels strong.
