But you only dyno'd 418 on your mods? A lot of people down here are getting a bit more with the same mods...full exhaust/CAI/tune right?

i only have headers/xpipe/axle back/tune

and stock dyno run was i believe 374, so 418 is a very reasonable jump. i doubt people are getting much more than that with those mods. a cai would add a few more hp, but nothing mind blowing.

Dyno's vary a lot depending on type. If your car was run on an eddy current or loaded dyno it will read lower than a dynojet. Some shops that have too good to be true numbers on the internet are known to have higher reading dynos. Evolution and lethal are 2 such mustang shops. There are lots of ways to inflate numbers.

It is fast enough to have fun and will shaft 99.9% of cars you pass.  The internet makes all of these 1000hp cars seem common. They aren't.  How often do you hear something cammed? It's a huge investment to go to the next level.


This
450whp on the street is insane and will beat almost any car you roll up on
Traction for light to light will be more of an issue rather than adding more power about this level
Even with good quality tires at 450whp you will be spinning to 60~ mph

The newer muscle cars like the mustang gt or srt8 challenger or camaro ss are about the quickest things you will see on the street that are common
They all make 360-~ whp

More like 3700, and no its not. My car is turning 380-390ish right now though and I don't think I'd have any problem running you.

It won't fit in his car without losing the power steering, brakes, a/c, and factory k-member. It also won't bolt up to his trans.

You should stomp a mudhole in his ass. Your car weighs 3150. That's a half second advantage in the 1/4 with the same power.
