280's-290's untuned...tuned as high as 320. Willing to bet with an aftermarket CAI combined with an aftermarketmaf (tend to run a tad rich right out of the box)and fords conservative ecu programing that she's running somewhat fat and leaving a little power on the table.

trick flow stuff?? not much HP. have you seen summits disaster for a car in the center pages. it has all your stuff and more, diff. cam, and makes less torque than stock and only about 270 hp.

TF= bad stuff.

Not true at all...not GREAT numbers from the summit article but I've seen that kit break 300 on more than on occasion. Alot of factors could have limited the HP they've made...but also remember some guys get nearly 300HP with GT iron heads and alpha cams...not sure how, but they do.

it is a tough game to play. like dman302 said. i have no idea why but some motors with the same stuff makes way less. fordracing111 made 302 and 344 with ported E7s and E cam. i just have seen the kit all over the HP rating thats why i dont like it. however, i have not seen AFRs with a decent cam fail to come up with ATLEAST 280 untuned

No, that is bad tuning.

That kit gets in the 290-300 rwhp range on a consistent basis.
