tenmiledaddy Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I have a 2011 Shelby GT500 Kona Blue SVTPP and navigation with glass roof. I currently have approx. 26000 miles. I recently went to the drag strip in Evadale, Texas with my son, and we had a blast. I am 57 years old and he is 31 years old. I guess there's nothing like youth, because he drives much better than I do. I ran a 12.8 in the quarter mile @ 113 mph and he ran a 12.10 in the quarter mile @ 117 mph. This was done on stock oem tires. All I have had done to the car was a 2.6" metco pulley and resinator delete on the air intake side. I also had a SCT tune done on the dyno and it came out with 550 rwhp with 549 ft. lbs. of torque. I missed several shifts during these runs ( we made 24 passes at the strip) and it seems like my son was unable to powershift with the stock shifter. When I got home I ordered and have received a MGW shifter (not installed yet), and plan on getting a Magnaflow high flow catted exaust and a Magnaflow street cat back muffler system. I also plan on getting the ford racing 65 mm throttle body, and some toyo R888 tires for the rear. With these additional mods, what type rwhp can I expect? Will I be getting close to 600 rwhp? Also should my car be able to get into the 11's pretty much? I am 57 years old and am just thankful to just be alive, and appreciate whatever opinions you may have on my situation. Thanks, and God bless................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 im not a gearhead here but have been a memeber of the TS forum for sevearl years,and read posts every day. You might think about tires and a bigger heat exchanger--folks seem to get good results with them. On the hp issue,ive seen numbers of 625 just with a VMP underpulley and tune--dynos have very varied numbers,with lots of factors,heat,humidity etc going into the numbers.From my drag racing days, its more about traction than pure hp--also for a winning run reaction time is VERY important--you need to get into 0.6 range conssitently---good luck PS i was just thinking those times are very good -- 550rwhp is about 620 assuming a 20% loss in drivetrain--so your engine is right on where it should e with your mods.With more traction and a HE you shoiuld get into 11s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
