2022 Mustang V8s getting horsepower drop, GT500 impacted???
- Thread starter 93 347 Cobra
- Start date
Would be as simple as tuning. Only other thing i can think of is more restrictive exhaust and intake.
If anything its maybe just a couple degrees of timing pulled, fattened up AFR. They are going to re-engineer and re-certify parts for 1 model year then go to a completely new platform.
I highly doubt this is being used YET, but it could have a gas particulate filter like some of the euro gas cars are getting.
Particulate filters have arrived, for the "lesser" Coyote motors in Mustangs anyway. We shall see how Ford skirted the issue in the GT500 shortly. PFI may have saved the day for '22.
I still remember Ford ICE enginer Adam Christen telling me some 6 years ago that they were coming. He gave me a very grim look.
Same cat and mouse game, adding long tubes/tune, kiss your warranty goodbye if there is a major engine issue. I could see somebody bolting on earlier S550 cats (with a tune) in hopes of sneaking by their local inspection process - ingenuity is on the way however it'll be done.
We are going to see threads on system errors due to drive cycles, etc. The added heat in order to allow the system to function isn't really a good thing either (witness diesel trucks and their lovely DPF systems).
Note the new cat/exhaust plumbing and sensor (eurogay system for illustration purposes until stateside LBGT version is released)...
Yay. This coupled with no gas lawn equipment sales in California will definitely save the world.

It's good thing that China and India are going electric by next year.
Yea, like that is going to happen.

I'm all for cleaning up the air, as soon a China & India are @ our current levels,

They are going to fatten up the AFR for emissions? Lol
Most of you should already know that political emissions standards are a look at us feel good agenda, as battery production and waste is a whole new problem they have not thought about yet. Lets move our production to a foreign country where they do not have epa laws that are uncontrollable, then we can put stuff on big boats, leave in ocean for long time, allow our needed consumables to dissipate and then get ourselves into a war due to us having a weak dick president. Yah, lets do that.
The unforsure out look has made me reconsider getting a 2021/2022 GT500 as i feel maybe the last of the factory supercharged gas engines. That an Ca is comming down hard on the older modified vehicles.
Ok ill help you. Manufacturers fatten up the AFR to protect your catalytic converters when you are cruising around in closed loop and the rest of the emissions system.
Its not like a carburetor your just dumping down fuel and emitting black smoke/unburnt fuel.
Never seen a stock car with a 10.5:1 AFR that you can almost breath the fumes at the tailpipe and the add cams and tuned it to 13:1 and you smell like gas and you eyes water?
