How much HP is your 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 putting out on the Dyno?

3-4 thousand miles should be good man.
Yeah...that was a good video. First time I saw a tach turn red! Mine only has 200 miles, so I haven't taken it above 6k yet.
There are folks mentioning Cali Emissions. Perhaps anyone who posts dyno numbers on here could add if they have CA Emissions or not...that would help shed light to the theory about CA cars having less power. It would be interesting to see if that was the trend, or if they really do put down the same power. When I ordered mine, the dealer said there was no difference...just that CA cars are certified in CA and CA Emissions states. I wasn't totally confident he knew for sure so I ordered mine w/out CA Emissions just in case (Virginia doesn't require CA Emissions...but most 5.0s on the lot had it).
Also, several folks mentioned in various posts that hp increases once you have some mileage on the engine. Does anyone know how many miles it take to get broken-in enought to yield the best numbers on the dyno? I ask because I would like to have mine put on the dyno...but I'll likely only do it once so I will wait until I have enough miles on the clock to know that's the most it'll make (until I add any mods, at least).

BINGO! Dynos are good for tuning purposes only. What a car does on a dyno has nothing to do with what it will do at the track! A car may make 500rwhp but if the car is unable to put it to the ground it will lose to a car with 350rwhp that CAN put it to the ground!!

I ran a 13.53@110 the last time I took it to the track. The track was pretty slick and had some serious traction issues. Tires broke loose at 6000 rpms in 1st and 2nd gears. The car has plenty of power but those crappy Pirelli Pzero Nero all season tires are not good for the track.

I have a Steeda CAI, Corsa Xtreme axleback and Corsa X-pipe.
I had a Bama tune but decided on getting a custom dyno tune, with the Bama race tune I had 380hp and 367tq.
After the dyno tune by Realspeed Automotive I have 405hp and 380tq.
Both runs were on the same day on a mustang dyno.
