thats not possible I bet on the same dyno that he was on and your car would be a lot less than his. You have stock heads/cam theres no way your anywhere close to where he was at powerwise.

not possible hrmmm??

dyno vs dyno are different. My dyno reads low compared to most others so say my car made 320 on this dyno it could make 340 on another dyno. I think your numbers are fine but I bet if his car was dynoed where yours was it would have put more down. BTW nice dyno sheet is Bristol Dyno even around anymore?

all in all i dont see it being a waste on money. something that has to be considered is that 5.0l put out 215 from the motor stock. plus numbers dont mean anything if you cant drive the car. so coming from a california car that still passes legal smog, a few bolt ons, stock internals and features all fatory luxuries (i.e. a/c, radio, emission friendly, plus my daily driver) i seen a noticable increase in power and torque for the 2500 i spent so im happy. =)

Numbers mean nothing.

Read the very bottom of my signature.

Numbers are numbers...nothing more, nothing less.

Very true. that is where I noticed my kit made the most difference, when I floored it on the track. went from a 14.8 to a 13.3 at sea level, and thats with no other mods. Keep in mind, my car is set up for road course use, so there is no weight transfer upon launch.

If YOU are happy with YOUR car, everything is right with the universe :)

Meh, if it doesnt make enough power, a mild 6psi Vortech comes in handy :p.

or a mild 6 psi turbo kit :)

Adder has a cobra so those are not e7 heads. If i remember right your heads were ported to or maybe that was a latter time.

trick flow kits have no problem putting 300 minimum to the tire on a stock bottom end 5.0 with a 5-speed.
if they don't it's because your tuner has no clue what he is doing. usually when they don't they feed you the line
"it's tuned safe" which is BS. and if your tuning it yourself
with a tweecer, or whatever, and you don't make 300, you don't know what you are doing.
through an auto is a different story.
hell my car made 300hp on a break in tune with street heat heads, and stage 1 cam and a gt-40 upper and a ported
lower. with shorty headers a catted h and flows. with no timing in it at all..........yet.
so if he paid for a tune and the car only made 260 with a tfs kit, he got ripped of on the tune, not the kit.

It's not very uncommon at all for the TFS top end kit to make under 300whp, we see it all the time and i'm pretty sure all those tuners aren't stupid...

well, at the shop i hung out at before it closed. every 5.0 that came in with that
top end kit on it, made at least 300. period. 260 is rediculous. good tuner's must be
hard to come by i guess. i guess i got lucky and found 2.
