who is they? 400rwhp isn't easy to make real streetable.....
Texas5.0 just posted a link to the article. But I didn't say 400rwhp. I said that they made 400bhp with the stock camshaft. I figured that if they could get a good camshaft and a good tune, then they could get the 350rwhp the original poster asked about.

I could But I'm not ou to kill other Mustangs. The only Mustangs I like to trash and kill are the fake ones and the riced out ones. By "fake" Mustangs, I mean the ones that are all tricked out but are only 6 cylinder. You know the ones, they have the dual exhaust coming uot the rear, the cobra emblem, NOS stickers, etc.

It wasn't just the heads. They used a refreshed engine, a really good set of headers, a good carb, and 1.7RRs. We're talking 400 bhp, so that about what... 340 - 350 or so rwhp?

I doubt they would flat out lie and just make stuff up in the article.

but sam that means that he will achieve his goal wit stock cam and a refreshed block. i read the article and for a while wante afr 165 so bad. i just dont think its true, wit so many people on here tryin to get to 300 rwhp wit some heads cam and intake.

You're forgetting the carb though. Take a loot at their dyno chart:


Before they added the heads, they were already at about 275 - 280 BHP as opposed to the 225 bhp that we are rated at (probably a bit lower on an aged engine.) When you're looking at 280 bhp, you don't have that far to go to get to 400.
