The mustang dyno is usually a little conservative (numbers-wise)...that said, my LS3 stock did 359hp/362tq on a mustang.

Do you have an L99? What kind of intake? Maybe there wasn't enough air going through it?
Sorry - should've been more specific originally... this is the LS3 with 6spd Tremec... CAI was a one-off custom built by a local fabricator... all outward appearances seem to indicate that it's massive. The fabricator seems to know his stuff as well... As for "just numbers" you are of course correct, but I'd love to be able to talk intelligently (ok, BRAG) about the numbers... e.g. if this engine is stock at 426hp (assume that refers to flywheel HP), it would be great to be able to say it's 500 (or whatever)HP today post-mods.
