Well went to the dyno today, I'm waiting for the email on the sheets, but the numbers were par. Car put out 240 rwhp, 270 rwtq, however the air to fuel was pretty bad running low 11s which is way too rich, so that's something I'm going to look into fixing via my chip and reducing the fuel pressure from 45 to around 40, maybe 38 or so. Overall, not a bad day, no problems with the engine, no pinging or anything along those sorts. Also found out the car is set at 15 degrees of timing, so that was a plus as we were going to put it at 13, but it was already done for me lol.

Mods that matter:
CAI
Pro-M 75mm Mass Air
Ported Cobra Upper/Lower Intake
GT-40 X303 Heads
75mm TB
1.7 Roller Rockers
BBK Headers
O/R X Pipe
Magnaflow Catbacks
Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator
30lb Fuel Injectors
155lb hr Fuel Pump




****On a side note, how much of a difference would an MSD ignition control module make, also what about an aftermarket coil?

No, I was highly missinformed about the car to say the least, and the first dyno run, which had an error with the dyno after we went back and looked over it again today which is why my numbers were in a 347 range. But all was told when I pulled my heads off and measured my stroke, its a 302, nothing more or less.

Yea, but I'm definitely loosing some power due to the overly rich state the engine is running. I'm guessing 10-15 rwhp would be a pretty accurate guess, so I could be in the 250s somewhere if I had that right.

Stock cam only, I was short on time and didn't really feel like taking the extra time and effort to do a cam, so I stayed with h/i only.

Yea, I know, but as stated, I really didn't have the time to do one, I had only a week off, out of that time the weather was good 5 of the 7 days, and I got severly ill after a day of work and missed most of that week and had to finish on my next week off two weeks later, and even then it took more time due to an Fed up heater tube and a few nick nack things that didn't want to go back on right. I think this car is cursed, a cam would of just been one more thing to go wrong lol.

Also, I asked the question, but would an MSD igniton and Crane Iginiton coil add any power or help the a/f in any way what so ever?
