Anyone wanna take some guesses?

Ive got a 331, AFR 185 heads, Holley Systemax Intake, 30lb Injectors, Ford Racing Z cam, Shorty Headers, and i made 343rwhp & 353 rwtq

Wayne (Waynes Dyno,Jacksonville NC) just put in a Comp Cams XE282HR and put my long tubes on and is tuning it, hasnt been on the dyno yet since the mods, but anyone wanna take some guesses as to what its gonna make for power? I would like to see the 400 mark, but thats being a bit optomistic i think. Im also throwing a 100 shot at it, so we'll see how that turns out too!!

Hoping for mid 11's on motor and maybe some high 10s on spray!

I'll update when he dyno's it.

367hp and 340tq I say down on torque with the comp versus the z cam

Gotta agree... You will be more than 30rwhp off from 400rwhp.

You want 400rw, give Hi-Tech a ring and let them get creative with the cam, and you will get close imho.

Looks like its running pretty good to begin with and to be honest I am suprised you didnt go with a custom cam since you are changing the cam and I think that comp is like $280 and hi tech can do you for about $320 to your door? Maybe it was a freebie or something and I am NOT knockin you just sharin my thoughts on this.

So you dont have a Turbo 5.0? How misleading... [Razz]

You wont be able to resist...come back to the dark side...

Here's my opinion on Harley's

Harley Davidson: The worlds' most efficient method of turning gasoline into noise without the harmful side effect of horsepower.

Just bustin yer chops dude, nothing personal [Smile]

i built a rep on my screen name, not gonna change it and when i did have my turbo mustang it was a turbocharged 6.0l ls motor to be honest.

i also used to have the same train of thought with regards to harleys until i rode one with my lil wife on the back, now im hooked.

ur right i will be back too and when i come back itll be with 400 plus inches and a turbo in my next foxbody.


good luck with yours i had a very similar setup back in 2000, 2001 on the bottle

I hear ya bro, a rider is a rider, i just tend to pick on harleys with my bike, its a v-twin too, just a little faster [Smile]

I hope to be rocking a turbo setup in the next 5 years or so, gotta save up and once i get out of the Corps get a good job!

Yeah, i was pleased with the nitrous numbers! Would have liked to have seen more on motor, but not bad.

Curious now what a 150 shot would do as that was only a 100 shot...
