Yeah I was going to tell you to run 24's when I re-read this thread yesterday, but figured I was too late. I should have caught it the first time I read it and it might have saved you from wasting your time with the 19's and stock pump.
New motor is almost ready to fire! Guess my HP

It's never gonna make it to the dyno... I love reading these kind of threads when there is closure. threads like this, how much power then no closure suck. Strap the car to the dyno and quit making excuses.
I took it to the dyno at Steeda and posted my results, man! Take a look up a couple replies. I said I didn't know if/when I'd be taking it to the track.

Whoops sorry about that, I read that early in the morning. Must have missed it, well than thanks for actually putting it on the dyno and posting your results.
lol, no problem. I'm quite happy with the car, moves pretty good for what I use it for.

I have heard that mustang dyno's actually read lower than a dyno jet. I have never experienced this though. I have used a dynapak and a dynojet. But the dynapak was not calibrated properly. So I got bad numbers..
and no refund.. My old car, basically explorer motor with a stock 88 cam made 260 285 on a dynojet.

Sucks about the dynapak. I've heard the same thing as the Mustang dyno simulates more of a load than the Dynojet does. From what I understand it's 10-15% different so I assume I'd read around 300rwhp and 340rwtq on a Dynojet. I'll have to take it on one if I'm ever around one.

A dyno is a tuning tool to me..weigh your car race it see what your 1/4 is then you can see what your putting down they have calculators for this...give you a decent idea what your making and see if its close to what you made on a dyno...
Just to follow up on this yet again, after lots more tweaking, tuning, issues, money, etc... It ended up back at Steeda for a re-tune.
294hp/321tq

^^Now those number are more like it. I have a very similar setup to yours, 306, eddie RPM, TFS stage 2 cam, eddie perfomer heads w/ 2.02in/1.6ex, long tube headers. Hoping to make the same numbers you are.
What issues did you have to work out to free up the extra HP?

Something in the a/f ratio I believe. There was a long standing bucking at 1800-2100 rpm that affected driveability quite severely. After bringing it back to Steeda it seemed that all it was was a tuning issue. I was ready to ditch the BBK MAF but they made it work.
