UK PONY Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Dyno results; Mustang Dynojet at Techmotion Chassis & Dyno Tuning in Calgary, AB. RWHP 250 At first I was a little disappointed by that number until the tuner reminded me that a stock 4.6 3v GT Auto puts down 210RWHP on his machine and that my figures equated to 366HP at the crank .

TClark1976 Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 VERY NICE!! I showed my Fiance this photo of your CS and she was instantly sold! I've been trying to explain it to her by other photos and showing her other pictures of what I had invisioned for a future project for her. . . . . . She's NEVER been much of a car girl. "I just don't get it - it's just a car. . . . " "Are you seriously going to wash it again?" "Are you kidding me. . . You don't drive it in the rain?!" were things that she often said. Now - she wants to build a CS8 Convertible sometime in the next year or two. Most likely a Turn 1. Again - your CS is awesome!! and thanks to you and your CS, I think I might have found a way to get my 2nd Shelby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad my car swayed your fiance's decision, I've had similar comments from gf's past & present so I know what you were up against. Your current ride is pretty sweet too so the CS8 vert should look great beside it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please PM me and let me know where your got your paint work done. Thanks Larry, PM sent with paintshop info. I had the vehicle appraised last night and I'm very pleased with the figure he put on it. Of course, as I bought the base car brand new back in '05, it's not quite as much as I have in the car but it's a good percentage of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWHP 250 At first I was a little disappointed by that number until the tuner reminded me that a stock 4.6 3v GT Auto puts down 210RWHP on his machine and that my figures equated to 366HP at the crank . the rule of thumb is + 15% for manual and + 20% for automatics however the 5R55S is very efficient so I use + 17% to calculate fwhp If you have 250 rwhp and automatic it should be roughly 292.5 fwhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK PONY Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 the rule of thumb is + 15% for manual and + 20% for automatics however the 5R55S is very efficient so I use + 17% to calculate fwhp If you have 250 rwhp and automatic it should be roughly 292.5 fwhp On most dyno's you'd be right but the Mustang Dynojet is very hard on the numbers. Point in case being a stock Automatic 3v 4.6 Auto putting down 210rwhp on the same machine - the known output for that vehicle is, or should be very close to, 300hp.so a 33% loss. As these dyno figures constantly create this exact same discussion I'll put it on a regular dyno some day to get the "real" rwhp # but based on your 17% theory it should be around 303rwhp. Not trying to be argumentative, simply stating what the very experienced dyno tech was telling me, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
