I have no idea of where this came from but WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Now your at 60 MPH! I have no reason not to believe Brad. Holy crap, can it be possible for the Mustang to make more power than a Ford GT. If this is confirmed, I'd be stunned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Oh B Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I have no reason not to believe Brad. Holy crap, can it be possible for the Mustang to make more power than a Ford GT. If this is confirmed, I'd be stunned... FYI, Ford rates the Ford GT at 550hp, but it has been reported that it actually makes over 600hp at the crank. Ford has been under rating hp for several years now: 2003-4 Mach 1's rated at 305hp actually make about 330hp in independent dyno'ing at the crank and 2003-4 Cobras rated at 390hp actually make about 425hp at the crank. 2001-4 SVT Lightnings rated at 380hp actually dyno about 405hp at the crank.

Milstang Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I have no doubt that Brad is correct. He does hang out with some mighty knowledgeable people. You just have to look in his pictures section to see some of them! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford4v429 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Wow. who in their wildest dreams would have ever imagined a supercharged,dual overhead cam, fuel injected motor capable of over 600 hp with a couple hundred bucks of aftermarket parts(and not nitrous). Go back to the 'powerhouses' of the mid 70's-80's and tell someone that in 20-30 years old Shelby himself would be offering such an animal from the ford dealers, they'd have put you in a rubber room. Remember when the 'fastest production vehicle in america' was the dodge little red truck...even blew away the corvette...that musta been the stone age. Wonder what will be possible in another 20 years??? Hard to imagine much more, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Would cold air induction and a K&N filter make much difference in hp??? Would it void your warranty??? KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 638 was based on CAI, pulley & reflash. A 3" exhaust, too if I remember corractly. Still less than $1k. My guess would be at around 19# of boost. A couple of confirmations that the rods are the limiting componant of the motor B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kepfordj Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I'd like to take that upgrade 1 step further and change fuel to running E85. Below is a thread I'm trying to get going on the Shelby Preformance public forums: I don't know if this is the right place to post this but we have this fuel around here call E85 (85% alcohol, 105 octane) it would be cool to get an upgrade package to take advantage of this. I've played around a little with this using my old GLHS (#784) and that car seemed to like it. Not only do you get the benefit of 105 octane fuel but the cost per gallon is considerably less. Locally premium sells for $2.50 a gallon; while E85 is $1.80 a gallon. A link to the E85 website: http://www.e85fuel.com/index.php Below is a link to a fellow with a Subaru WRX that has been experimenting with it for a while now with very good results: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread...5&highlight=e85 Locations in Las Vegas that sell E85: ORCA Express 4343 North Rancho Drive Las Vegas, NV 89130 702-368-0500 Huey's Mart #1 1591 North Decatur Boulevard Las Vegas, NV 89108 702-203-6464 And no, I don’t work for the industry. It just seems like high performance cars and E85 were meant for each other. Just a thought, Jim Kepford White, SD Future GT 500 owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford4v429 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Not only do you get the benefit of 105 octane fuel but the cost per gallon is considerably less. Locally premium sells for $2.50 a gallon; while E85 is $1.80 a gallon. Cost per gallon drops, but low heat content requires near doubling the fuel:air ratio dont it? Would expect it to allow more boost, but that gas tank would get mighty small range wise Alternate fuels are a great idea anyways...I kinda wish all cars could be at least capable of dealing with whatever is in the tank, if the gas crisis returns(or should I say 'when') it would be nice to have a plan-B in place to deal with it...perhaps a high performance car could get the ball rolling for trickling down to standard models soon- good luck with it!

kepfordj Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 You need to increase the amount of fuel about 27%. Real world flex fuel cars lose about 20% mileage. I look at as a cheap high performance fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGT500 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 The Super Stallion is also an example of a E85 car. That one was supercharged too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
