Stock is 12, hard to say what psi he was seeing. He is running a 2.65 upper, good for 17 psi, but also ported blower which would drop measured psi 1-2lbsWhat is the stock boost on these gt500’s and what was this one hitting??
Thanks man... I just read Lund’s reply on IG. 16 when doing that pass and a little bit higher when it was on the dyno.Stock is 12, hard to say what psi he was seeing. He is running a 2.65 upper, good for 17 psi, but also ported blower which would drop measured psi 1-2lbs
On that last run in the video the shifts sounds lazy.****Correction ****
Just got confirmation Lund was slipping on the dyno, dont know at what power level
On that last run in the video the shifts sounds lazy.
Sounded like the shifts engaged slipped for a split second and finally pulled the Rpm down after some torque was removed.
I can only speak on 2 things:I think they're running these times in manual mode. Either DRAG or TRACK mode for some reason. Maybe because of the DCT? I'm not sure.
Also, I think the torque management is holding the car back still. Hopefully they get that issue figured out.
Very true , I sure as hell won’t be spinning mine to over 8k , in my opinion it’s a very bad idea and is only in play due to the tq management limiting gains at normal revs ..... won’t last on a track over revving under hard use . The only reason for Ford choosing 100 psi oil pressures is they are unsure of the bearings still.I can only speak on 2 things:
1- i made it known that best mph will come from manual and trackmode shifts, especially at 8k, or 8200 as i think they are doing
2- i would take everything any camp says with a grain, as some are more likely to put out false or half-truthed information, especially this early in the game.
Development and shop cars, by nature, are not cared for like our personal cars and there is a ton of $$ on the table if a few wisely chosen statements can sway opinions 1 way or the other. Look for in depth reviews and tech data and results
Once tuners can adjust launch rpm and calibrate the trans, Im sure a car with these mods will be deep in the 9’s.That is not impressive...Not beating a Redeye in a drag race...Just a pulley and 93 tune and a Redeye will be doing 9.7's...All the work done to that car , do the same to a Redeye and Redeye does low 9's...The Redeye has gone 10.15 with just a drag radial and seat removal...Ford can have the road race course...I could not care less...The DCT will be an issue.
Absolutely brother!!!Development and shop cars, by nature, are not cared for like our personal cars and there is a ton of $$ on the table if a few wisely chosen statements can sway opinions 1 way or the other.
You've still got your shipping protectors on, hahaha ... !That is not impressive...Not beating a Redeye in a drag race...Just a pulley and 93 tune and a Redeye will be doing 9.7's...All the work done to that car , do the same to a Redeye and Redeye does low 9's...The Redeye has gone 10.15 with just a drag radial and seat removal...Ford can have the road race course...I could not care less...The DCT will be an issue.
I own a Redeye and the difference of the Torque Converter in the A8 versus the GT500 DCT not having one is the issue imo.That is not impressive...Not beating a Redeye in a drag race...Just a pulley and 93 tune and a Redeye will be doing 9.7's...All the work done to that car , do the same to a Redeye and Redeye does low 9's...The Redeye has gone 10.15 with just a drag radial and seat removal...Ford can have the road race course...I could not care less...The DCT will be an issue.
So the rule is anything reducing restriction before the blower rotors should INCREASE boost and anything reducing restriction after the blower should REDUCE boost.Stock is 12, hard to say what psi he was seeing. He is running a 2.65 upper, good for 17 psi, but also ported blower which would drop measured psi 1-2lbs
Are u sure on that? Increasing the area would reduce the resistance, resulting in lower pressure, correct?So the rule is anything reducing restriction before the blower rotors should INCREASE boost and anything reducing restriction after the blower should REDUCE boost.
For example, increasing the TB size will increase boost, while removing the cats will reduce boost.
The blower elbow behind the TB and before the rotor pack seems to be the biggest restriction from what I’ve seen.
It’d be interesting to see what porting gains Kong found.
I was assuming someone will eventually make an ‘elbow’ to replace the stock piece.
It will be complicated, but running a huge TB and reducing rotor pack would be worth it for max power.
On second thought, I’ll just take the 3.8 Whipple
