^ ooo you sir you deliver
Dyno Time
- Thread starter DBK
- Start date
Going down now:
Awesome! Stock ZL-1? Run em and get a video, please!
DBK you're kicking ass.
Face-Off right now!!!!! do some pulls on a closed course!!!!
@rytrapp, thanx for clearing that up. Im not a mechanical expert by any means just trying to hazard a guess because the drivetrain loss right now is very low, which is good I guess! :beer:

C5 is sweating more now than John Edwards awaiting a paternity test.
Good numbers Dave.:beer: I wan to see a stock one dyno'd at about 2500 miles. The SVTP GT picked up quite a bit of power on the same dyno in very similar conditions after a couple thousand miles.
yea believe me, i've been racking my brain trying to figure out how we're seeing these numbers from this engine, lol. my previous theory was that the rated HP was lower than the actual HP in the over-rev range, but the dyno sheet from the 5.0mag shut that one down(although the hotrod mag article begs to differ).
i'm pretty much coming to the conclusion that either A) the SAE doesn't care if cars are overrated or, B) ford managed to fudge the SAE testing. there's all kinds of stories about the "old days" when the manufacturers would test their engines with tube headers(LOL). the SAE changed its testing policies to prevent this, but, lets be honest, there's ALWAYS a way to cheat:-D
Whatever it is.....if the 1/4 mile times match the dynos....Ford under-promised and over-delivered.....*ahem GM *ahem
There are plenty of 2011-12's making 500-520whp at 6,250rpm so these 600whp dyno numbers from the 2013 seem perfectly in line considering its making an extra 112hp and 750 more rpm.
Heck dont most 638hp ZR1's only put down 530-540whp? sucks for them as that's only 10whp more then my and few others stock 2011-12 GT500's have made the same day a new 5.0 put down 365whp at an AED dyno day.
These new GT500's perform really well on the dyno. Some of that can be attributed to its new ecm that can adjust the tuning instantly on the fly based on octane and information from its new dual wideband o2 and knock sensors vs IAT's only to adjust parameters (timing) on pre 2011's. Then you have other things like the loss of a power steering pump, improved cooling and other drive train losses that ford has been working on for a while now make the GT500 have the least amount of drive train loss of any car out there.

lmao!
damn straight:rockon:
SVT did it right by not promising a damn thing, LOL.
1 question DBK, is that an auto ZL1 in the picture? Sorry if I missed it.
Big Dan- Good points.
At the same time, like Ry Trapp said....we're not going to see much better than about 13% loss.....so, given we see similar ballpark dynos from other cars.....Ford may have been sandbagging....even at 662 lol

Yes, it's an auto... same dyno it made 476 RWHP
I even offered to give him the leave

Aw....so it's not happening?
This is worse than prom night.

The Shelby is impressive, no doubt about it. The ZL1 is already modded... I want to see a bone stock track ET, it's just going to be hard to hook it with that kind of power.

Nice! Ordering one at the end of this year. Those numbers are sick for stock...what I will do to it when in my hands.
ZR1's put down between 550-560 RWHP.....don't know why that would "suck for them" unless you race dyno sheets
Back to the dyno day.....pretty impressive pull. It will be interseting to see if this is the norm, and what this translates to at the track.
Congrats, DBK, on an awesome dyno pull.....with a car with 95 miles on the odometer no less:beer:
