Oh **** sorry never even posted the year. 1995 stang. I know they had less power then before but I thought it was only like 10HP because of some exhaust restriction from what I have heard anyway. Nice, well hopefully the heads add some big power with everything flowing freely. I knew 217 was low, even if a stock engine averages 180 HP thats not even 40 HP gain at the wheels with somewhere around $3000 of parts. Do mustang dynos read lower levels then say powerdyne? Any input is greatly appreciated

For all that isn't 217 at the wheels awfully low? Shouldn't he be at or around 300?

217 on a mustang dyno is actually a good # for stock heads. on a reguler dyno jet it propably more like 230whp untuned those are pretty good #'s

OK, cool thanks. But now with the heads on should my power increase a lot? Just curious. Also with the suspension upgrades does it help put more power to the wheels on the dyno as well?? I doubt it but thought I would ask. Thanks
