Default Are these numbers low for this build!!!

1994 5.0 306, with trickflow heads, e303 cam, ford racing intake, kb forged pistons, bbk shorties, bbk catted xpipe, msd ignition, 4.10s, 5spd tranny with 140k on it...

270 RWHP 311TQ

It was tuned at DEZ racing in seekonk, MA... These guys really know what their doing and are awsome to talk to... the main guy that worked on my car said he had a similiar 5.0 with the same build ( different heads but same cam, 306 etc..) he said he made 275whp but lower torque..

I'm not unsatisfied with the numbers at all but it would be nice to hit 300whp.. i'm not completely sure if its a mustang dyno or not.. i heard that effects the numbers by 10-20..

let me know what you guys think

its the cam and intake that are holding you back the most
Also what size injectors are you using?

And mjr is right, its your 1/4 mile time that matters the most!

that actually sounds about right, The cam is holding you back though, you aint getting near 300hp until you change that out.

and I might be taking a ride by Dez's shop when I get my motor back together... My last tuner, is out of business (stupid economy)
