Want to verify HP

Article I was reading in 5.0 magazine where they dyno'd a stock 2010 GT500 in the 90 degree humid rich Florida weather and put down 478 RWHP and 470 RWTQ. Thats 560hp with a 15% drivetrain loss. They claim the car had more left in her given the right temperatures.....good lord. I would be curious to verify my numbers and to at least get a baseline before modding. Good read below

dyno day $20 :D

Wish I could. Woolrock cruise is this weekend.

I am thinking 410 for yours since it's grabber blue! :)

Eh, Dyno numbers are cool and all, but it's like asking someone how buch they can bench. What difference does it make if they can still kick your ass?

I keed! Had to Jarrod. I just had to. Lol. I'd be curious too.

uh huh

Put mine on the dyno this week: 438 hp @6200 rpm with 8.27 psi boost.
Weather was 80 deg F and 60% humidity

Going to wait for a cool, dry day and see what she will do.

hmmm most i have seen have been posting 470-490 rwhp Whos dyno did you use and are the numbers SAE corrected?

Here is a couple of links to the FordGT500 forums where they are starting to compile a list of stock dyno runs and results...

As soon as the pulley and tune go on I will make a trip to Vangs and get some runs.

Do you have any recommendations for a Wideband setup? I want to be able to give Justin accurate datalogs to adjust

Check that other thread about a/f

Man those Widebands arent cheap..... may I borrow yours in order to datalog? I swear I will give it back :) Scouts honor

Nope, they are not cheap, I got the base one with just sensor and wiring and it was 150ish. If you look on ebay, you can get both of those under 300 I think. You don't need a dual sensor one, just single.

I like the Aeroforce wideband kit and interceptor guage.....read a lot of good things on the forums. Very vercitile and accurate, but not cheap

I am all about the lazy way, which means plug in the cigarette lighter, get a O2 bung installed and your ready to go. I hate runnning powers and grounds etc.

True....true

Yes. Yes it is.

Put mine back on the dyno today under more favorable conditions. 470.9 hp and 444 ft/lbs torque at 6000 rpm. Weather was 62 deg and 20% humidity.

Good numbers!

I knew I wasnt crazy! Very good numbers. Thats around 554 HP and 522 Tq at the Flywheel.

All this talk of numbers when are you shelby guys going out to the track so I can pick on you guys

We are Professional Bench Racer........fear us!

I went out in mine about a month ago. Stock on drag radials went 12.7 with 1.9 60' and TONS of wheel hop. I'd say it's good for a 12.5 in stock trim with some adjustments.

I'd guess that with nothing more than suspension work and slicks it would go 12.4-12.3 maybe quicker on a perfect run. Traction is the key factor

I need a driver mod bad. I've missed every gear but first and I think thats just a matter of time LOL. I did just upgrade to the MGW shifter and I can feel a big difference and I have up graded the motor mounts and have the trans brace so I cant stick it in second again. Hope to run deep in the 10's

Cant wait to see that! Sounds like you are running some serious HP

Just a little hp. stock motor went 11.29 and only had 530 to the wheels @ 12/13# now its at 20#

I like how you say... "only had 530 to the wheels" hehe What would be your HP guestimate?

I don't like guessing but I would say north of 600
