Nothing to do with being supercharged. They have the GT500 rods. I have 33k miles of mostly DIE MUSTANG DIE miles on mine. Usually what grenades a built engine is either hitting the rev limiter over and over either on purpose or on accident while under load, or, shitty gas/tuning and going lean...
That sounds about right. You can make much bigger numbers with catless long-tubes, Stage 2, and switching to and E85 tune. Moreso if you drop the pulley down again and run a 10 rib. Probably would need to upgrade the fuel system as well by that point. But to be honest, 700rwhp is plenty of...
If he got Stage 1 w/ catted LTs, that's quite a bit on the high side of believability. I'd expect it to make ~730rwhp on 91 at best with a manual tranny. This smells more like my setup. Either that or, like @LouG said, maybe they converted the rwhp to bhp to fudge the numbers. The dyno sheet did...
Probably! I have most of what's on this list, minus the fuel system and overdrive pulleys. I also have catless longtube headers, billet OPG, and billet crank gear. I've probably spent about $17k on parts so far. If I had to get some AT tranny stuff, then I could see it touching $20k
No one knows how to launch... or drive stick for that matter. They come off the line spinning and then take nearly 2 seconds between gears from what I've seen... then complain the car is slow.
I cut ~1.8 60' with the Pirelli's when mine was bone stock. 3500rpm and quickly roll off the clutch while simultaneously going WOT. Very consistent results.
Yep, the auto tranny eats a lot more hp than the stick so less power makes it to the ground. Though 629rwhp is a little lower than normal for a Stage 1 auto with the 91 octane canned Whipple tune, but it's still in the ballpark from what I've seen autos put down. That's about 741bhp which in my...
Yeah, I think it's just a stock Dark Horse with a Stage 1 Whipple slapped on it. Makes around 810bhp+ on the canned tune supposedly. I didn't give the U-Drag guys much shit about not being able to drive this time around because getting a Whippled DH out of the hole on those track tires is not easy.
If you start running stickier tires and launch it, it could hop. If it hops, it can break suspension components. Always let off and roll back on it if you feel hop in any car off the line. And that's hop you can feel. Adding some sort of STH kit from Steeda (or competitors) is cheap and helps...
