What are my rear wheel HP #'s?

I've tried searching, isn't helping. Here's what I have & have done.
2011 GT
Added 40 Series Flows
Added Shaker
That's it, virtually a stock automatic. Almost forgot that.

I'm looking @ getting a SCT Tune for it from BAMA. I would like to get close to my stock 412 #? Thanks so much!!

I'll get the fake cam tune, too.

Without a tune, I'd probably say between 375-385RWHP. With a tune, you'd probably be right at 410-415RWHP.

Sweet!! I'm not ever needing it to really be any faster. Didn't think this idea up till about 2 days ago.

I'd pass on the fake cam tune and stick with Bama tunes. For you, I'd probably get a 91 Street and a 93 Performance tune. You'll see real good improvements.

I'm 100% getting the 87 tune. My car is running too good on the cheap stuff. I forgot that part, didn't I? Only way I can tell is I'm now getting better MPG's on it. I need real #'s, can't tell by the seat of my pants. Plus, can't rem from 1 day to the next on this type stuff.

I love that cammed sound. Why I was going to get that one. If you say I don't need it, I won't get any. Like I said, I don't need it any faster. I'm coming from 215 HP to this monster. 215 was more than I needed. Thanks again!!

On both the street and performance tunes my mpgs decreased by about 2 mpg overall. That's actual calculations I've done, not just the dash readout. I run 93, so you may have better luck with strictly an 87 tune. However, once I got the tunes my foot got heavier lol. This is just my personal experience, others may vary. Just wanted to give you a heads up if mpgs are important to you.

I drove 212 miles @ 80-90 MPH. I got 27.2 MPG. By figuring up mileage/gallons, not by computer. I only fill up when I get gas, so I check my mileage every tank. On 91 & 93 I was getting 19-21. On 87, 20-24. I drive very grandpa-ish, too. I rarely speed, but I get up to the speed limit very quickly.

MPG's never were important to me. We're driving Mustangs. But since mine gets so good, to me, kinda do now. & it being the only way I can see any changes, that too.

I doubt you'll get much over 400hp with an 87 octane tune. Probably be just under 400. I've run Bama's 87 performance tune and their 93 octane tune. The difference is significant.

I'll wait till after the car's paid off so I can afford to load the tune @ a Mustang shop. I still hope to get, it'll just be a good 6 yrs. Thanks!

Let us know if / when you get the tune from bama, I really want to get one for mine too. Just want to make sure I have no issues with my ride, I've had it a year and 4300 miles, runs like a dream. I know a tune will make it a total BEAST!

Whenever you decide to tune, 93 is the way to go. The trade off is power for gas milage but remember, it's a Mustang. Good luck with whatever you decide on!

axle backs and the shaker probably don't add more than 5-10rwhp each. and these drop like 360-380rwhp stock?

I am a thousand percent getting the 87 tune. I've seen that I do better on the cheap stuff. Not by the readout, figuring it correct.

I wasn't expecting any big jumps over my 2 add-on's, just letting y'all know what she has. If I could, I'd prob get the ghost cam tune. I don't care any of more oomph. BAMA stopped that, so I'm not getting that. If I do get, it'll be a while. My car's perfect, so I'm still just in the 'thinking about' stage. Thanks for your help!

I think Texas would be your closest bet. Bunch of tracks there.

They are still trying to perfect the idle lope tune for the auto's. Drivability is terrible with it. I know Shaun at AED is working on one for the auto now. If you are looking for a great auto tune talk to Shaun at AED. He has one of the safest tunes and they guy is just one of the best. I have tried several auto tunes and his tune is really nice. Drivability is great.

Found AED's site. I will just wait years to do this like I 1st wanted. By then, they should have the issues worked out? My car is perfect, this would only be cool. Again, I only want for the sound! Thanks so much!!
