Now I know many of you can read, some of you may know how to read a PowerDyne Graph or even know what corrected WHP and WTQ means. If not then try as hard as you can to make real sense of this graph. With the BS speculations being posted It amazes me that others know what the long pedal on the right means. If this still mystifies you, well add it to hopefully will be learning experience.

here in the UK our cars have lower power figures due to various emission gubbins added to the car not to mention a terrible exhaust manifold where the steering rack is (RHD). For comparison my own MY17 GT did 371hp at the hubs. So your 2020 car has put down nearly 90hp more at the wheels than my own managed at the hubs. That's how i read your dyno at 457whp graph and that was my comment.


As for real world, it's just a baseline for your cars performance, when you add modifications you can measure the improvement. Everything else dyno related isn't real world, front wheels aren't moving and well airflow is pathetic on a dyno

I read that graph as over 450whp on a car that makes 460 crank hp. Do you have other mods done to the car, or just completely stock? For a stock car, that rwhp number seems a bit high when you factor in drivetrain loss.

450 seems high maybe it's a happy dyno. It'll serve as a good baseline number for future mods. But the average I've seen on a gen 3 auto is in the 370 range due to the weird gearing. Manual cars I've seen between 420-430.
Yes it's generally accepted that ford underrated the Gen 3 to protect the Shelby. It's not crazy high. Vmp only got 469whp on their 2018 gt with pmas and e85 tune. Which is 49 hp over their baseline of right at 420whp

i would be happy if i cracked 450 rwhp on mine with livernois tuner/E85. also x pipe and axle back but i dont expect much from that. that's an A10 PP1 with 3.55 gear. seems like bone stock, most are about 415-425.

Is that considered "real world", no.
I agree 100%. I prefer to keep the hood closed if my car is on a Dyno. Sounds like your Dyno operator tried to replicate real world conditions to the best of his ability and that’s what you want.
