Do you trust dyno results? The 2020 GT500 is certainly a fun new toy. Any on track predictions?
Want to pick up 65 Horsepower for Free???

I would guess on the stock blower that's non ported the gains would be a little less?
I hope y'all do another pull with the hood closed and the airbox lid off. I'm expecting to see that 65 gain drop even without a heat soaked engine. I suspect that gain was mainly due to increased airflow with the hood open. If so, I expect to see a lot of hoodless GT500s rolling around. lol
That's a good question. The ported blower is actually not adding all that much at the factory boost level though.
Hood delete is where all the power is.
Wow, very cool.
Where did this car come from? Ported blower but all else stock?

It's owned by Jokerz Performance. Other than the blower it was stock. VMP just started playing with tuning during all this testing.
Ford has put out some great Orange Cobra/Shelbys over the years. This is one of if not the best one yet. Although the 2004 Competition Orange was special too.
Agreed
But with the hood closed most of those 65 horses disappeared. With higher temps due to the pulls. I thought the gist of it was that intake is already optimized and airflow mods will likely only benefit higher hp motors. ??
Interesting vid. Makes you wonder how efficient the factory CAI actually is???? Maybe it's allowing too much engine-heated air into it, or perhaps it's undersized??? Or maybe it actually DOES function well at speed, when outside air is directed into it?
I'd like to see some actual driving tests (0-60 and 1/4 mile) with hood off & CAI top off versus hood on to really quantify this.

I think the take away is that there's power to be made by removing restriction (especially at higher boost), but not if you're going to suck in hot underhood air. The trick would be getting the filter as close to that opening in the grill as possible and blocking it off from as much hear as you can.
Bamm
Oh, you know we want that smooth data.
Jokes aside, cool video. Pretty impressive regardless of the ported blower. Does the box get cold air from intakes from the front bumper?

One thing is for certain...
Car sounds so damnnn good Stock.!!
I gotta get out of this Forum and back to the 13/14 section before I do something stupid and spend ALOT of money.

If it was in my price range I'd be in trouble I think. Wasn't sold on the initial renders, but in person these look great and sound even better. Love that blower whine!
Bamm-ity Bamm! That was a great video, thanks for posting it. It was well produced, no shaky cam, very clear HD pic..... love the classic plumber's crack at 4:40, hahahaha
Just as I suspected, the stock CAI works just fine at speed and looks well designed too.
Thanks. I should have put a NSFW warning on it.
I'd be willing to give up a little power to open up the intake and get more of that blower wine.
The video does testify to the fact that Ford did a great job with the design/engineering of the 2020 GT-500. I remember back in 2002-2003 folks were seeing easy gains with intakes (various styles that produced comparable gains), exhausts, throttle bodies). And pulley/tunes/blower porting. Now we have this GT-500 that's as complete a package as we've ever seen. No doubt companies like VMP, Lethal and others will continue with testing various component/mods to see where gains can be had.
