Finally got my 264/272 cams with adjustable cam gears, fuel pump and 680 injectors with a dyno tune.

Tuner said 275 whp and 265 torque on a mustang dyno. Seems low with my supporting mods or should it be higher>? Car feels great and drives like a new car except for a little loppy idle.

Those #'s seem a little low to me too, but what do I know...

Your stock cat is probably holding you back.

It is probably because it's on a mustang dyno and it reads low.

Prob reading low b/c of both the stock cat and mustang dyno.

No, in fact Wishihadanevo made a correct statement. There are people here in the NW running on S2's and a stock turbo and not down on power. I can think of three instantly, and I can call Lucas and find probably that many more within short order.

Like JB said if you do some more searching on here, there are more people than just in the NW running these on stock/stock appearing turbos.

Yea, car pulls like a beast at about 3600 rpm and all the way up and past red line.
I am glad I did it, but idle is going to be a little bit lumpy.

Buddy Clubs because i got them used from another evo member.
But I heard hks cams (272) are nice and you dont need cam gears. Cam gears for even more power or shifting power bands.

I have the Buddy club 272/280 combo w/ skunk 2 cam gears and I love it, pull like a raped ape! I too go them semi used from WOT and couldnt be happier. I have heard that buddy club specs are close to HKS specs...
