    Engine Dyno questions

    I have an 89 5.0 with bbk long tubes, off road x pipe and bullet style mufflers and under drive pulleys. Other than that, it's stock. There is a shop not too far from where I live that will dyno tune it for 250. Is it worth the money? What kind of gains would I see?

    I recently bought a 5.0 block out of a 97 GT. I have a 89 GT as well. I am going to have the block bored out. I have been told not to go more than 30 or 40 over. We are aiming to have a 450 whp car when we get done. So how much should I bore out the cylinders and not have to worry about...
