Trust me, the 5.2/TVS2650 pulls clean past 8000rpm, so bring on the Tuners and good octane like E85.
800rwhp all day.

I can't say that I have seen any PD dual over head cam engine stop breathing at 5K RPMs. Then 2100kgs, come on, this is not a dodge.

I’m saying in stock form the gt500 is not going to see 8000 rpm. Even with a tune there’s no need to see 8000 rpm either.
Why do you say that? I have dyno data on a 5.0/2650 combo pulling clean past 8000rpm.
Unless you’re arguing OEM restrictions, a tuned 2020 GT500 with more boost and octane will easily be a an 800rwhp/8000rpm combo.

Agreed in stock form. Will wait to see, but everything we’ve seen from two 5.0/2650 combos, show they make power thru 8000rpm.
The GT500 on 16-18psi and good octane will easily make 800rwhp and pull til 8000rpm IMO.
I’ll gladly try and prove it but I don’t plan on a first year car.

Because they’re confusing the misinformation spread from the gen three coyote which is actually 7400 but people think 7500.

Also, you realize digital or anolog gauges can’t keep up to these acceleration and powe figures. It probably shifted at 72-7300 and it read 7500. My GTR use to shift at “7000” but it was actually 6800 because of the needle sweep reaction rate. Same thing here.
I know what you are saying, but the dct in that video shifted at 7500. so my point being, we both posted screenshots, does the red line start at 7400 sure, but where is it shifting at is what the calc really wants. so id still be inclined to go with te 7500, but either way, 100rpm isnt changing anything in the top speed category

I’m saying in stock form the gt500 is not going to see 8000 rpm. Even with a tune there’s no need to see 8000 rpm either.
stock no, but RPMs win races, so yes, wrap it out to 8k as long as its still breathing and you will beat the 7500.

I'm sure someone will beat you to it J, within the first month they start rolling off the line. :)

Why do you want to mod it so soon? I would enjoy the car stock for a while.
Because certain portions of his anatomy are so large he absolutely must mod immediately.

Large waist = performance sapping weight?
