If you have the Stillen V3 intakes and Cat-back then yes....it will probably be very close to perfect.....I would still get a dyno test or at least a wideband on the car to test AFR....

I have injen CAI and FI CB, will try toget AFR reading but its just too hot (119-124 deg F) here these days and waiting to get the weather cool down a bit to get better reading.

Injen claims that this of their CAI adjusts the AFR?? anyone had any views on that how true is that?

I had my baseline dyno done earlier this month (248HP/210TQ [Mustang]) on my 7AT. I'm just doing K&N drop ins for now cause intakes haven't proven to give enough gains to warrant $500 right now. I'm going to Vivid Racing this monday to get a 2nd dyno done with just the drop ins.

I'm on order for the F.I. LTH's and CBE, after I get back from getting that installed, I'll be going back to Vivid for another dyno. I'm not sure if I'll want to get it tuned after that, or throw on the lightweight pulleys too and get it tuned after that.

Basically Vivid and I wanna document the whole build to see how each part effects the HP/TQ ratings... Should be interesting to see...

The Stillen V3's have proven gains on my dyno over 20whp!!....I think thats value for dollar at 500 bux....

Were there any other mods?

Which Dyno were they on?

The Gen 3's are probably what I will go with, but for now, I'm just doing the drop ins...

did you have any other bolts on before the G3?

Factory tune here with Stillen CBE, Gen 3's and Berk HFC.. 299hp 233tq on a mustang dyno. My AFR levels were safe, infact id need to lean it some to get some gains. Uprev/COBB tune should net me a few HP and TQ.

Wait till you have your other parts then look into tuning. Dyno to check AFR is upto you..

Once you already have exhaust and HFC the gains by adding the Gen3's are minimal and no where near 20hp. Yes, on a stock car they can be 15+ but on a car that already has bolt on's they are only good for another 5-6hp.
