Doesn't 16-17% loss sound rather high for that transmission setup?
So much for break in periods seems to be running well after all

They are around 12%, its a modern wet auto, so loses nowhere near 17%.Doesn't 16-17% loss sound rather high for that transmission setup?

Yup I failed at mathematicsHere is the video. He thinks he has a 500hp car :lol:
Also, at 8:20 when you are calculating crank hp based on a 16% power-train loss..."425*1.16"...are you guys for real??? That's like...third grade math.:doh:
... and there there will be a diff cooler on a non 5.2L S550...:bolt:
You're assuming the advertising numbers are also what Fords dyno actually readsThis forum continues to make my head hurt worse every time '18 power figures come up. You all are operating under a massive assumption that a tuners -chassis- dyno (calibrated to whatever specification or not) will 100% accurately correspond to the -engine- dyno that Ford used to certify the engine.
This is wishful thinking. If you trust a tuner's number over Ford's numbers, this is also wishful thinking.

Not really an assumption for me, but let's leave it at that. You may believe whatever makes you happy.You're assuming the advertising numbers are also what Fords dyno actually reads
So many people in delusion...Just because a manufacturer rates a car at a power level doesn't mean it can't make much more than that number. Where they could get in trouble is if it makes less than the advertised power number. It's clear Ford underrated their power numbers. So many people in denial! :cheers:
Its common knowledge the 18 Mustang make 525hp.Just because a manufacturer rates a car at a power level doesn't mean it can't make much more than that number.

I thought it was 625?Its common knowledge the 18 Mustang make 525hp.
You right. I had a clerical error.I thought it was 625?
