I have a race lined up with a Ford GT in two weeks and want to know what they put down for power. Has anyone anywhere seen a dyno sheet on one of these bad boys?

I'm going to video tape it and post win or lose. I have a few more things I am doing to my car in between now and then too, but it probably won't matter. lol
barondw said:Actual dyno numbers 552 RWHP, 493 RW Ft. Lbs. These numbers are normal. However note it was done in third gear not fourth due to dyno limits in 4th. So you would use a 20% loss factor not a 15% loss factor.
That converts to crank numbers of 690 HP & 616 Ft. Lbs. Still significantly less than a big AMG Mercedes espeically the torque.
badcobra said:Well just an update, we haven't raced yet but are going to very soon. I just put in headers, and a new clutch in as mine was fried. I also added a methanol/water injection setup. I'm gonna smoke the GT now. My car is much more dialed in than when I put down 519hp, so I am sure its making closer to 530 now. I'll have some track numbers Sat to see where I am at.
And, you cannot dyno a car in 3rd gear and get accurate results. Let's see a 4th gear pull on a dynojet so we have something to compare to.
