I think I'm going to do the Steeda CAI and tune after my springs and shocks. That is if I don't order a blower... lol. 525 warrantied whp would be pretty sweet.

but then you're sitting at GT500 power, and I sir, say NO to that. Kenne Bell or bust!

Having driven a few 550 plus whp mustangs before I can tell you that any more power is useless unless you prefer highways or are building a track only machine.

true true, I tell ya what though man, I almost got embarrassed last night by one of the 3.7's, I was at a stop light where the speed limit is 55mph (always down for a spirited run up to the speed limit), he hole shotted me, I spun for a good bit, of course I slingshotted past him once I gripped but I do agree, any more power and it becomes almost useless. I couldnt believe the audacity that guy had though

Dude I've been looking them up and have been seeing a few running 13.6s bone stock. I bet the 2005-2010 4.6 guys are pretty ticked.

Those are 4th gear dyno pulls and not accurate due to the Getrag's gearing. A 5th gear dyno pull usually turns out 355-375whp.

If they were 4th gear pulls I would have disregarded them as I am fully aware that 5th is the 1:1.

i've not seen one, even on a mustang, dyno at 355, i've seen numerous at 380+, if it dyno'ed at 355, it had to be at an elevation of 3,000 ft. or above.

Yeahhhh.... uh, this is gonna be pretty hard to top. Jesuchristo.

m4a1mustang · 10-17-2010, 07:58 PM

LMFAO they just had to throw Vanilla Ice in there.

God damn that car is badass.

Red370 · 10-17-2010, 08:06 PM

"Rollin, in my 5.0, put the rag top down so my hair can blow". Baller. And yes, that car gives me a raging boner that even a good solid wank cant get rid of. Jesus.
