5.3 is 325ci

 

This is the truth. They are tuning tools, and nothing more. We all love to talk about how much HP (i'm no exception ) we make but the real measure is the 0-60, the 60' , 1/8 and 1/4 mile.

Get that beast to the track!

 

OMG this is the first guy to realize this!! i know how every one is all hyped up on numbers but when every person comes in to dyno their vehicle and i ask them what they exspect and they are always way too high, had a guy with a fully built 468 BBC come in and thought he was going to put out 600-700 hp and he got to 350 wrhp, same with a guy with a fully built lightning witha KB super charger, thought he was going to do 650, he put out 440 rwhp, had akid the other day with a whippled 5.3 truck thought he was going to get 350-400, he put out 250, the most disapointed kid ive ever had was a kid with a s10 blazer that had a 302 chevy witha pop up pistons and small cam, he thought he was going to put out 400 to rear(according to his desktop dyno) he put out like 19x rwhp..kid looked like he was gonna cry..I ALWAYS let every one know before they dyno that a a dyno is just a tuning device and this style of dyno(Mustang Dyno) ALWAYS put out lower numbers than a dyno jet, if they want higher numbers than go to a dyno jet..

 

I'll come by here in the next week or two because I KNOW that I can put down 350RWHP+...

 

naw you got 400 naturally aspirated easily...weve only had 2 naturaly aspirated cars on the dyno..my race car that put down 410 at 7600 rpm and imca modified dirt car that put out 522 at 8800 rpm

 

Maybe if I ever get time to work on the Stang I'll make that three N/A cars to be on the dyno...

 

how you coming along on that project..im sure that thing will be a beauty..id love to see how that performs on the dyno..hopefully you can be #3

 

We need to finish putting the subframe connectors in, the roll cage in, and then we can take it back to the paint shop. I haven't had time to do anything to it in a LONG time so hopefully I'll find some time soon...

 

what are you expecting to get 350HP out of then?

 

I did the cam in mine a few weekends ago Matt... it was not a big deal honestly.

PM me your number when you get a chance, I got a different phone. I'll swing by one day and let you hear it... its pretty nasty sounding with this half-assed LOL....
