His next video is a visit to the dyno to figure out why it is going so fast, in 6th gear and 7th gear, with 93 and with E30, a bunch of pulls.
It sounds like he is saying that the visit to the track (your video) was E30, and the trap speed indicates 758 wheel horsepower.
"about, uuuuuh . . . ...
Full interior, too.
Looks like he did it mainly by removing the sway bar and changing out shocks and tires, oh, removed front bumper support. I'll take a look at what else he did. Neat.
Eh, different strokes for different folks. A lot of folks are adding that spoiler as an aftermarket item to their Mustangs, so it has fans.
I am not sure what the wide body does if the tires are the same size as you can get on a Dark Horse.
It sounds like they kept the stock brakes, too...
I just watched this video through to the end, and, apparently, the lowest Roush package pulley makes significantly more boost than the Stage 1 Whipple.
With all of that having been said, none of these are same dyno, so I do not know how well you can compare them.
Nor did they go into correction factors (or lack thereof) or anything else.
And at the end of the day, I do not know how much difference 6th gear v. 7th gear makes, but it is...
Roush supercharger, sticky tires, no other mods . . . 10.50. I doubt a set of sticky tires on the Edmunds car would drop that quarter mile time into the tens at all.
More mods (headers, pulley, octane) and into the 9s.
The first one is in 6th gear, not 7th like the Edmunds video, with 93 octane, no octane booster.
The earlier video of the Edmunds car used an entire can of octane booster, so it is not fair to describe it as 91 octane. The octane was probably higher than 93 in the Edmunds video. That combined...
Yep, that is one reason why I emphasized that fact in my post. The other was that seventh gear should show the highest horsepower and torque numbers, as the first line shows, which makes the 629 hp figure even worse.
He has only been sitting for a few minutes - after driving it.
The exhaust is still very hot for a few minutes after driving. I know. I have touched it and gotten blisters.
So your comment was sarcastic?
Most of us are not tuning Whipple supercharged cars and have no idea to have even caught on to your comment. Sorry.
UPDATE: So I started looking around and it appears supercharged cars run full throttle air fuel in the 11s with very few even touching 12:1 much...
So about leaning the car out, Whipple said that running rich was intentional to save the catalytic converters. They do have to warranty this setup. Nevertheless, the 810 hp is advertised as the result with the setup just the way it is, rich and all.
Obviously, custom tuning, you can do what...
But the stage 1 is advertised at 810, and
they tested it in seventh gear.
629 at the wheels is not 810 at the flywheel
If your octane is correct, then that was not holding them back
:crackup: Laughing because it is a dyno result when the OP asked for anything but dyno results, but . . .
at the risk of dragging this thread off topic, they used octane boost and still got only 629 horsepower?????
:shock:
So why?
Is this timing issue (too far advanced for boost) speculation or confirmed?
Have there been a lot of warranty claims for Stage 1 Whipple owners?
Whipple says Ford is the hold up. Is Whipple lying?
What does Ford say?
I assume that 500 hp is not at the wheels?
