The Bullitt also has a different rear end, 3.73 as opposed to 3.5. I do not believe the Bullitt has the larger radiator. It was listed in pre-release publicity and pulled, probably by the bean counters. And of course a different tune. And the short throw shifter
Bottom line is the officer would have to prove in court, if cited, that you modified the exhaust. So just don't say anything, don't comment about changing it to similar to another style vehicle, etc. If you say you did not modify the vehicle when you did you are lying and potential perjury or...
yes i am aware that a lean af ration will burn/melt a piston. That is the trick of too many tuners trying to get the last 1/2 hp out of an engine on the dyno. But preignition will also burn a piston and lead to a catastrophic failure. In addition preignition due to lesser octane will develop...
I guess that is the reason racing gas has a higher octane rating and why E 85 can be tuned for more HP and why nitro methane is used on top fuel. Yea, octane is only a resistance to detonation but higher octane can be tuned for more HP AND higher octane is less likely to burn a piston. Even...
Did not read every post. just curious how many psi you were pushing with the whipple? Remember those are not forged pistons. If you burn a piston it is shot and will lead to a catastrophic failure.
That is about 700 hp at the flywheel. That seems high for only 8 psi. I would think that would be closer to 11-13 psi. Could you confirm the 8 psi? Thank you. I want to go the turbo route also but do not want to go over 7-8 psi on a stock lower end.
I saw a dyno for a 2020 Bullitt the othe day. It was a dyno jet dyno. The Bullitt topped out at 410 RWHP. There may not be much difference in engines but there is a difference in dynos and testing conditions.
We have all read the advertised 480 HP for the Bullitt. Below is an article from the Rat 540 blog. I don't know if it is accurate but this is what was stated. If this is accurate then we are probably pushing about 540 flywheel.
46. Are Auto Manufacturer Advertised HP numbers accurate...
