Should this set up get me 300 RWHP?

CAI (C&L Racer)
93 Octane Race tune (Bamachips)
Shorty Headers (Steeda / BBk)
O/R H pipe (Pypes)

Do you think this set up should crack 300 HP?

To get 300 RWHP on a N/A motor it will probably take the following:

Under drive pullies
Charge motion delete plates
Long Tubes (not shorty headers)
Cold air kit with good tune

MAYBE?

I was at 296 with JLT intake, offroad H pipe, mufflers, and custom tune. I got to 303 with those same mods + pulleys and delete plates.

There are butterfly valves in the intake ports; the delete plates replace the factory plates which contain those butterflys- therefore deleting the butterflys and opening it up for more air/flow = more power up high.

Here's a bunch of info, I just searched it for you quickly:

I'm currently at 293 HP, with Steeda 90mm CAI, Bamachip's 93 race tune, and Steeda UDP's..So I'm quite sure, that with either CMCV delete plates, and or O/R mid pipe ? should just be enough, to break the 300 RWHP mark..

Yeah that's a heck of a gain with those simple bolt-ons.

In socal...who tuned your car?

FWIW, I am at a little over 300. My power enhancing mods are intake, dyno tune, u/d pullies, and a x-pipe w/high flow cats. I also have other stuff but that's what got me there.

The tune is from DTP racing (bought over the internet - that is who was originally doing the JLT tunes) and was verified by Steve at Power Train Dynamics in Huntington Beach. I had scheduled dyno time for him to do a custom tune, but he said the tune looked pretty **** good. He said he could charge me for more dyno time and probably get a little more power, but recommended keeping as is until I did some other mods. Keep in mind that he only does dyno work, does not sell any parts, and is well known for his dyno tuning.

He made 3 runs and they all were right there within +/- 2 of each other. He also checked the tune at different rpms, on/off throttle, etc. to make sure everything was safe/good.

Freak or not I'll take it. I haven't been to a drag strip to verify with any times, but hope to some day when I get a chance.

I added UDP's a short time ago and once I install a Spydershaft I'm going to get a dyno tune and I think that will get me at 300rwhp.

I'm at 315 whp and 329 trq with just a JLT II, American Racing LT headers with a catted H pipe and an 87oct tune from Tillman Speed. My local performance shop claims I have the record on their dyno for horsepower on 87oct. Ok sorry 328.9 trq. I saw this after attaching the dyno sheet.

I've dyno'd 300rwhp a couple of times now, with mods in sig. An alternative to the LT headers w/ catted H-pipe, is an O/R midpipe. There are 2 other Stangs with the same mods as me, other than I have catted LTs, they have O/R mid-pipes w/ stock manifolds, and we were all just over 300 rwhp on the same day.

My tune is still not quite right. I consistantly around 11.5:1 on my A/F ratio. And who knows how much spark advance could be left. All of my 300rwhp runs the temps were over 85* and humidity over 65% (although, these are SAE corrected #s).

I'm at 303 RWHP and 314 RWTQ with C&L Racer intake, Brenspeed 93 Oct SCTII tune and Steeda UPDs with my manual trans on a DynoJet.

Or, 281 WRHP and 297 RWTQ on a Mustang Dyno with everything the same except this was before the UDPs.

Stock baseline on the Mustang Dyno was 261 RWHP and 276 WRTQ.
