You're looking at the TQ curve, HP/TQ are scaled differently so they don't cross at 5250rpm. It only gets above 1000rwhp near the fuel cutoff. Regardless, 800rwhp from 4600-redline is still pretty badass.
Joe's Twin Turbo Ford GT Breaks 1000rwhp!!!

I have a plan... I just need to make it on Deal or No Deal!
Thats is one bad focker!~ I am impressed.

Thanks!!
I am visiting some family in Jax and low and behold as we are crossing blanding to go to Sonny's what do I see but Joe's Ford GT turning on to blanding. It sounded INCREDIBLE it seriously made my day. I am pretty sure it was him, I doubt there are any other red with white stripe Ford GT's in Jax with it looked like 3 stickers on the banner area of the windshield. I think I am in love. :bowdown:

thats him!!...HP performance is on off of blanding, that is where the car is at right now...doing some extra tooning : )
Sweet merciful crap!!!!! 
that is serious stuff, props to Ford
that is serious stuff, props to Ford
is it safe to say it would now hit 250mph? what would it's aerodynamic limit be?

Hey mate, you wouldn't know what the GT heads flow stock would you.Fourcam330 said:

The standard car has its top speed in 5th, it doesn't have enough power to pull 200+ in 6th.
There are a couple gearing charts on page 16 of this Roush pdf (big file, right-click to save) http://www.roushind.com/news_downloads/tech_papers/2004-01-1252.pdf
Here's a quickie calculation:
Aerodynamic drag is the dominant factor in top speed, and to double the top speed, you need 2^3, or eight times the horsepower.
If this car has 1000 horsepower versus 550 stock, that's 1.82 times the original horsepower.
The cube root of 1.82 is 1.22, so if the gearing is ok, this car might have a top speed about 1.22 times the stock car, or.....
About 250 mph.

There is a video of a stock GT going 220mph on streetfire.

If thats with the stock power, shouldnt be too hard to at least do 240+ with twice the power.

holy crap. ur black cobra is sick!
any more pix? did u rebuild by choice or forced?
if you ever sell it, let me know :beer:

Obviously this GT would redline 5th long before 250, so 6th wwould have to do the deed assuming no gear changes.
You would need to take a stock GT and see how fast it could go in 6th then apply the formula of ~1.22 to that to get your theoretical top speed.
Example
175 in 6th = 214 with 1000rwhp
185 in 6th = 226 " "
195 = 238
and so on.
250 would be tough

Uhh, no.
Ford GT Fan said:
I see what you're saying now. :idea:
Interesting way of putting it
That however, is a very theoretical calculation with too many variables to simply apply that simple equation to.
The max allowable speed with the tranny in 6th and 6500 redline is 259. That does not take into account ANY resistance.
There is only one way to find out :burnout: :burnout:
