Thumbs up picking up the mustang today

I am picking up my 200 v6 from the dyno shop today. I had them install a custom made 4 inch powerpipe and a new pulley for the vortech. It is dyno'ing around 307hp and 300ft/lps of torque.
I will post a link after I get the car back. Next group of mods will be suspension.

not really depending on the blower psi or any other mods he might have with it. a 11psi procharger kit makes 280-290rwhp on stock motor, add exhaust and some bolt-ons and 300+rwhp isnt hard.

Thanks for the positive remarks. The rear is still stock. I just have a t-lok and 3.73 gears. We will see how it goes at the track. I will try and get some pics of the work, after it stops snowing.

edit: Forgot to mention that the first dyno hit 327hp but was maxxing on fuel. The tunner tune it back to 307 to be conservative. They told me to look into getting some 42lb injectors and they go for more hp.

get 60lbs injectors if you upgrade. 42lb are only good till 400rwhp so you arent gaining much head way. but 60lb are good till like 600rwhp.

what are your HP mods along with the Vortech?

not much. It has a SVT fuel pump, Mac Long tube header, H-pipe, 65MM throttle body, 4inch custom power pipe, 90MM mass air meter, and 3.33 blower pulley. I think that is about it.

how much psi does that come to? sorry im not familiar with vortech pulleys to psi ratio. for instance 3.2 pulley that i have makes 15psi.

Right now the pulley is putting out around 14psi. I thought the tunner mentioned that the pulley is willing to push out more, but with the fuel maxxing out they didnt want to risk breaking anything.

The pulley to psi ratio is also pretty new to me. I am learning, but not an expert.
