Was looking through a '10 MM&F and they had a Ford Dealer install the FRPP 750 HP Whipple Kit, Blue Tuner, and Tune. 675 Rwhp, with the Ford Tune, very impressive, although the A/F was a consistent 12.5, they asked a Tuner to look it over and said adding fuel would add HP... Kinda lean isn't it???

Great thread! I've been searching for real world numbers for the 2.9 on 93 octane just to see if it's possible to make 700+hp with a safe afr

I'm over 700 with 93 at 16.5 -17lbs. 709 to be exact. Torco and race tune which is a little more aggressive is 734. On the edge then. Alibi is the man because my tuner felt the car wouldn't handle the 3.0 on pump gas. Fuel system is also on the edge too so I left it alone for now.

Finally got mine installed and tuned and thought I'd share the results. 2.9, twin 72mm throttlebody, boostapump, ID 1000's, and a 127mm intake got me 658hp and 609tq (corrected numbers) on a mustang dyno. It was making 17lbs thru most of the pull and peaked at 18 at the end of the pull. This was on a 3" pulley with 93 octane fuel. Other than an O/R x, the rest of the car is stock.

Stock lower?

I'm amazed at how much these numbers vary from car to car, I know different dynos read differently but I had no idea it was that much lol. I'm wondering if I went too big with my throttle body, if that's possible.
