500hp?????? dont think so maybe at the cranck but thats it! Also on ur charger you said u run 8lbs 10lbs go in for a dyno run and change it to 12lbs and ull get that 500 but i wouldnt keep it that way untill atleast i got a after or inner cooler. Or keep it at 10lbs and give it a good 50shot and ull get those number!!

I'd say 450 rwhp, I'd look into a set of AFR Heads, but since you've already had everything port matched, your kinda set up for the irons [&:]. You'd have to do a full intake/heads combo swap, I also agree with bumping your boost to 12 psi, as long as boost timing is retarded and A/F is in check. A methanol injection kit, or cooler box, should add a few horse as well. A dyno will be the best way to find out, andyou should have it fully tuned anyhow,whatair/fuel monitoring system areyou using?

Well I have not got it "dynod" because it's a guy who is selling his. I am about 85% sure I will buy his mustang. He said it dynod at 475AWHP so I was just checking to see what you all though.. It seems most say it's real close..

what is AWHP? do you mean Rear Wheel Horse Power, or FlyWheel/Crank Horsepower, or is it All Wheel Horse Power?

It took us almost 20 psi to make 520 rwhp in the R/S car. That was with a stock cam and Trickflow heads and intake. I think your losing alot by using GT40 heads.
