The stock Camaro made 50 HP more than the stock Mustang, my question is why after: tune, headers (cat deletes), MSD intake manifold, Holley? CAI did the Camaro make only 10 more peak HP. Yes at the top end 37 HP was made, but 10 HP peak? I can think of in logical order:
1) The Camaro needs a larger or ported TB
2) The Holley? CAI was worth negative HP
3) The tuner sucks

What are your thoughts? Also note there is no classic mid-range torque drop from the MSD.. hmm very strange dyno.

The Mustang did really well with bolt-ons, basically the factory intake manifold and header are sucky.. Picking up 46ish HP (vs 10 for the Camaro)... Torque is still blah.
