Great run! That MPH is pretty high for only 590rwhp.:banana:
Thunder Racing on their mustang dyno.So THAT'S Omar eh? Hehe.
Where did you dyno at Omar?
Thanks guys.. I always buy 2 gallons of sunoco 104 unleaded race gas mixed with 93 pump gas. kevin i like both blowers but i like the vortech alot more due to the fact that it never quits pulling were the roush felt a little flat up top. car made 590 rwhp on a mustang dyno.
Remember guys dyno's are used for tuning not for racing car made 614 uncorrected and 590 corrected on a mustang dyno and they tend to read lower than a dynojet. it is what it is believe it or not also remember not every dyno is the same and a lot of people get caught up with these big dyno numbers. ;-)
590 is about right on a Mustang if it hasnt been recalibrated to dynojet numbers, you can look at the car weight and mph and pretty much figure out the rwhp. None of my cars ever dyno high, but they run well and thats what I care about, I just use the dyno for tuning.
You were pretty much at the end of the TVS's rope with your old car so I could see it feeling a little flat up top, I'm only shifting at 7000 and with the 82mm pulley it feels fine up top.
Car looks/sounds/runs great, congrats again. These cars run some pretty amazing numbers.
Thanks Al..+1 People get to hung up on Dyno #'s. It is just a tool to dial tunes in. Congrats Omar.
Is that the same car that previously had the Roush SC or a different car entirely?
Thanks again Kevin.. i do alot of research and i see what works and what not works on these cars. this my 6th s197 and my second 5.0 and all i can say is these 5.0s are the real shit. and Ford finally got it right. ;-)
yes still stock drive shaft.I was the same way with LS F-bodies (I skipped the whole 4.6 mustang era), every year I would buy a different one and try something else. The last one I built in two months from a stock car and ran 9.20s off the trailer lol, Got kinda bored with the whole thing and figured I'd try one of these.
But yea, Ford really got it right with the new 5.0, at least from a drag racers point of view. So far everything: PD, centri, nitrous and NA works well on these. If I was a little younger I would have this thing in the 9s already and a few different setups most likely, just dont feel like fooling with it
Out of curiosity you still have the stock driveshaft in it?
