With that setup I'd imagine you're getting 280-290 at the crank. Multiply by 0.85 for approximate RWHP.

I didn't see headers mentioned. If you still have the factory headers I'd really think about upgrading. Aside from the heads, I think the factory headers are the most restrictive part of the stock airflow path. Since everything else in the aiflow path has been upgraded they're surely the bottleneck now.

Do them and you'll prolly pick up another 20 at the crank. Maybe more.

Then it's time to think about upgrading injectors before doing too much more.

why does everyone worry about HP so much on 5.0s? I thought that the big deal with the 5.0s was their torque, they are all bottom end.
