thinking about dropping my shaker 1000....
Sounds about right. I would inch on my brother's stock gt500, when I had intake, tune and exhaust. Now he got a procal and FRPP intake and next time we go I think I will be checking his brake lights out, he put down 520rwhp at JPC, GT500s are insane.
520 seems alittle high probibly more like 470-480RWHP!!
im still surprized of the outcome of this race. didnt think 5.0s had it in them to take on a GT500
Sounds about right. Both cars respond very well to mods and the 5.0 is lighter. Add a tune, intake, pulley and offroad x-pipe and you will put bus lengths on him, even if he adds more bolt-ons.
Yes his 5.0 and this Ford racing tune is very impressive last night he beat a 390/403 whp/wtq SRT4 (kid had Dyno sheet) from a 45 roll and only lost half a car on a 60 roll. It's honestly a shame that he is scared to lose the warranty because our dealership had 4 #8 cylinder failures when we installed our tune and we are on our second MT82 after 800 miles I want to see what it can do with some boost
What exhaust are you running with your o/r x? I am currently running muffler deletes but I know that adding an o/r x makes it nascar loud without mufflers.
I am not surprised with the outcome. When your GT500 gets heat soaked a Civic will give you hard time. With a pulley, tune, intake the GT500 is a totally different animal.
Add a turbine jet engine to your car and you will put bus-lengths on him.
Nah, just an intake, tune and pulley. Then the 5.0 would need the jet engine.
:lol1:
Do it, the sub box and amp rack was a whopping 54lbs out of mine. Besides, it sounds like poo
I thought gt500's stock was going through the traps around 117ish ..:shrug:
2007-2009 trap around 112-114 mph
2010-2012 trap around 116-118 mph
2010-2012 trap around 116-118 mph
GT500s are heavy and really dont move out till you start throwing bolt ons on them and pushing more boost.
Same thing with the 03/04 cobras...really arent all that impressive in stock form
Bolt on 5.0s are trapping 114-118 mph around here depending on the bolt ons
Sadly true. This really occured to me when I went back to stock for the clutch TSB. When I was driving it back home from the dealership it felt significantly slower.
This is why you don't keep it in stock form :banana:
