how much power do you think i'll make???
well folks after a year and a half of waiting my truck is finally going to get tuned! here's my combo:
354 c.i. 9:1 cr
port/polish heads
581 lift cams
vortech v-2 s-trim / aftercooled 15lbs. boost (it's an f-150 not a L)
llong tubes
no cats
x-pipe
exhuast
and a bunch of other crap i don't remember!
what do you think? my last dyno tune was at 410/550 (mustang dyno,stock block 13psi.)
i'm shooting for about 490-500...
i really don't care if it makes more than 420 as long as it runs right and i can drive my baby again!

there is a BIG difference from when i had the stock block. now it has the stage 2 cams, ported/ polished heads, stroker motor, and 2 lbs boost more.
so i'm hoping for a little more than w/ the stock block.
anyways i just got the truck back from the dyno w/ very bad news.
it turned out that the person who installed the inserts on the heads messed up two of them and when the truck gets on boost you can hear the exhaust being pushed out from the plugs. w/ only 8 degrees of timing and a 10:1 a/f (very very safe) it made 440/450... you can imagine my face when i heard the news.
the tuner said he only would take it to 5000rpm so the plugs wouldn't pop out ( the truck is set up for 6000rpm). once the truck is nice and ready and were running full timing, he said it sould be well over 500 rwhp.
