Silverstang, how do you have high flow cats with an O/R X?

What Dyno was that on? Numbers seem a bit high for CAI and headers, or do you have other mods as well? Just wondering...I'm still working on learning the difference between the Mustang Dyno's and the Dynojet's. Thx...

Yeah, I'm no expert, but don't these numbers seem high?

~250 at the wheels for stock auto + ~25 for CAI/tune + ~20 for headers/midpipe = 295 RWHP?

Plus hp can't be added that way. CAI 25+headers 15+ UDPs 8 does not equal 48hp. It's actually very difficult to determine the true hp gains of mods unless you get on a dyno. Yes, a CAI by itself will give you 20-30rwhp gain with a good tune, but adding headers advertised at 25hp gain will get you about 15-20hps. My list of mods adds up to about 70hp as advertised, when in reality I'm probably sitting at about 305 - 315rwhp, depending on what my stock baseline was.
