I went with the Bullitt for 5 reasons: stealth, DHG, Recaros, PP1, price. With all options it was priced lower than a GT premium PP1. Added all 5spurs goodies and a slight mod with a Whipple stage 1. Truly a joy!!! Compared to my '21 GT500...my blown Bullitt does everything and costs about...

1972 Pinto. hahaha This really dates me but I bought it from a neighbor next door and it didn't have a thing wrong with it until I bought it. Unloaded it as a trade after a month for a Suzuki 4x4 and it couldn't get past 50mph. An even bigger hahahaHAHAHA. My favorite after owning 28...

The chrome grows on me. Initially I thought 'bleh' but then it's nice to see something different. Have a bit of patience and see what they look like in a week or two. Or, wait a few years and chrome will be the rave again. Maybe wrap the side window surround in chrome also?

I used a store 1/2 mile on the US side of the border (Porthill, Id 83853) that did a good business charging $1 for every package that they held for a Canuck to pick up later. Ask around. I'm sure the US entrepreneurs are easy to find.

I must have missed the dyno comparisons of Whipple tune to all the bigger and badder custom tunes that don't leave you with 5mpg or with cold start problems or hot running problems or...blah blah blah.

Thanks Glen

I checked the clearance between my Whipple 3L, Gen5 and the underside of my stock Bullitt hood (with insulation removed) and there is only 3/4" to fit the spacers and the cross brace = won't work for me.

Are you running a stock Bullitt hood? I measured the clearance between the s/c and the hood with the insulation removed and came up with 3/4". Doesn't look like enough clearance but maybe you can provide some insight.

Whipple also states 630 #ft CTQ, while using 18% loss, equates to 516 #ft WTQ and my Dynapack reported a test of 513 #ft. My torque number is more accurate compared to Whipple's number as it occurs at less than redline rpm and thus, the rpm level of the test has no effect. But the 18% loss for...

thanks for clarifying wazslow

Jeez, if I went back and read your prior posts, I could answer my stupid questions. Of course they were both done on your Dynojet...duh. Why is there more fog in the morning? And your location in Granger, IA has an elevation of 900' above sea level. So, 3% loss due to altitude and 12%...

What altitude were the tests done at? And, were both tests done on the same machine or at least the same manufacturer..Dynojet or Dynapack?

What about the altitude difference between you and the factory test site...if any?

Why?

Just for you, noac, how about if I adjust for the altitude, test to 7400rpm and report to all the poorly informed that the dyno = 703 WHP. I know this is rocket science but lower horsepower at a higher altitude and a lower test rpm does make sense if you take a moment to think a bit.

I have been delving into the before/after dyno runs from last summer on my '19 Bullitt w/M6 and a newly installed Whipple Stage 1 3.0L Gen5. Before /after numbers are: 352/513 #ft WTQ @ 5000rpm, 393/568 HP @ 6500rpm. Comparing to Whipple's numbers of 775CHP & 630#ft CTQ, I was interested in...

Now, what was I talking about? Or is that we? Great thread everyone but it has devolved into....

Maybe we are looking for support from a group of friends who understand us, just a bit, and confirm that we are somewhat rational in dealing with our personal situation.

stupid old me...I was comparing the asking price with the MSRP and I see a bunch of used cars selling with that price premium that I call ADM

One of the dealers, that I DIDN'T buy from, was saying that if I financed the car at the going 'bank rate" of 8.99%, they would cut $10K off of the ADM. Another dealer said that Ford needed a $20K 'security deposit' on a new GT500 which they would refund after 12 months if I could prove that I...
