I fit the tw heads and stage two cam in my 87 gt. Stock pistons, but I had to retard the cam 4* to make sure of clearance. It mite have fit straight up, but I didn't want to chance it.

its on a mustang dyno, which usually reads 10% less than a regular dyno, so imagine it is 290 RWHP

Why would a mustang dyno read less than usual?

The Mustang Dyno reads less power because of the rollers. On a dyno Jet, the rollers that you turn weigh 2000 pounds. On a Mustang Dyno, you can make the rollers weigh whatever your car weighs. You get a better number with the MD, beacuse its actually what YOUR car is putting down to the pavement. Not just on that particular dyne.

2 Kwik---- What about retarding my cam?
