Stock GT's dyno in the mid 250's, you don't gain 200 RWHP from just a blower unless your running bye-bye motor boost or alot of other bolt-ons....

You show your true knowledge of FI on a Mustang in the above post. I rest my case!

you better figure out a way to take 700-800 lbs out of the mustang if you think it is going to hang with a Z06 on the road course.

Because 200 RWHP on a STOCK 4.6 GT....and stock means no exhaust, no TB work, no nothing, isn't happening.
That's nearly double the stock RWHP....

Well some of these guys think adding a blower to a stock 4.6 nearly doubles RWHP, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear they believe that too.

Cough... Cough... no Mustang GT with a blower will go 11s.

My turn and to play your 'I'm going to act ignorant' game... A stock 4.6 will indeed put down 200 RWHP with a blower. Want to bet on it? Before you drink the coolaid though, you might want to specify which 4.6 you might be speaking of. Not to mention, seems with your mentioning of 250 dyno numbers and you must be stuck in the days of the 99-04 2V 4.6s. vs your big bad LS1 numbers.

It still couldnt hang with a Z06, the z has better weight distribution with the engine behind the front axle and the gear box in the back, dry sump, lower cg, irs, ect .........................I just dont see a street legal mustang ever being competiton for Z on a roadcourse.

This is coming from a mustang guy, well sort of

Only Ford (besides a Ford GT) that might have a chance but need a blower swap and some suspension work would be an 03/04 Cobra... few other things like 1 or 2 piece wheels w/tires, seats, no rear seats (delete kit) half shafts, subframes, and a good coil set with a front tubular K and I believe even though it wouldn't have the best weight distro, it would still holds its own against a mild modded Z pushing around 475 to 490 to the wheels at its weight.

did you guys even watch the vid? here it is again....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPC899mdkF8



the mustang in question has a full sla front suspension and torque arm bar rear with adjustable watts link that rids on 4 adjustable koni coil overs. it runs about 3500lbs with blower putting down 450rwhp. the car runs one sec behind the nasa track record at infineon racetrack in full street form.

it also ran better times up the 07 virginia city hill climb than a 996 gt3, f430, and gallardo. this is all on vid as well.

197 platform is night and day from past. That and a well done up link even on a live axle can get the job done. Sounds like the car has a blowoff valve hence a centrifigual blower which is more beneficial on a road course with it's linear curve.

Wow, even I would give it a little more then that....when you go back to second grade, work on your reading and writing.

Keep on posting non-car related crap and I'll go right back at you. Stick to a debate on cars, and so will I. As I did before you started going OT....

Still never happen. I used to own a '03 Cobra with a full suspension bought through KB and tons of other suspension mods. While it was quick in a straight line, it had bad weight distribution and in no way would hang with a ZO6, C5 or C6 on a track, and a tight autoX track, forget it.


You see we can have a decent car debate, but you seem to like to toss low blows in your posts....believe it or not I am not anti-Ford and have owned five....but your way to much of a thick-headed tool to see past anything you don't think is right in your tiny mind....

you had the wrong mods!

also a 03/04 mustang svt is still heavier balance wise than the a/l block mustang gt. a full griggs(sla, watts link, coil overs, plus weight loss) suspension and a good blower/intercooler can hang with a stock z06 for a few laps before heat fade. of course mod the z and forget about it. as there are vids to show exactly what this set up can do.
