Dyno'd my 2016 today.

[Cascadia_302]

Tell me about it, l'd suck through a 1/3 of a tank just going to and from the nearest E85 station. Not worth it.

Nice numbers. Can't wait to dyno mine..similar setup but with Borla catback and tsp long tubes on the way.

 

[American]

Nice numbers!

 

[Jeff's FRC]

Nice numbers!

Can I ask who's dyno you were on? I'm also in Kane...

Deans performance Saint Charles.

Me too. 70 miles round trip to nearest E-85 station. I want to run it but until they bring it closer I'll continue to run my BP 93 (runs better than Shell in my car and I can run 29* of timing up top with no knock).

What's the secret to getting these cars to trap 120 plus on an NA setup?

GT350IM and long tubes. That will net you 120-123.

At what weight?

Headers will get you there . Your car is already carrying power better than average . I've been 123 already in nasty air .

I would venture a guess your car is pretty light to trap that with bolt ons

If I did just did gt350 intake and my planned cat deletes should that be enough for a 120 trap?

Possibly, it would likely require a 3600# or less race weight with excellent DA

I think a lot of guys will be very disappointed to think they will trap 120-123 with bolt ons in a full weight car.

I don't mean to hijack your thread @ArabianOak , but when you guys calculate your crank horsepower based on your WHP, what percentage of drivetrain loss are you guys using? For example, I'm getting the following using 500bhp as the goal:

500bhp * .88 = 440whp (12% drivetrain loss)

500bhp * .85 = 425whp (15% drivetrain loss)

Am I correct in assuming that a 12-15% drivetrain loss is "normal" for a 6MT 5.0?

Edit: Given the calculations above, @ArabianOak's car should be around 489bhp to 506bhp (12% and 15% loss). That's pretty awesome!

I'll take the 506hp kind sir. Lol!

On another note if I run into a gt350 will I keep up or beat him with my power level?

At this point, I'm going to guess that you run even with or get pulled on slightly by a stock GT350. Go catless and I'm confident you'll be coming out on top. Our mods are very similiar aside from my car having cat deletes! Nice to see you making such good power! May I ask what kind of dyno this was, you've got me interested in getting a couple pulls in myself now. :ford::cheers:

 

[ArabianOak]

It was a dyno max dyno at deans performance in Saint Charles IL.

 

[Terminator2]

Very happy with my results. I knew the car felt strong and was anticipating some good numbers.

The E85 Lund flex fuel tune has really made a huge difference IMO.

weather wasn't great either so I think a couple more ponies were left on the table. Super humid outside!

I'm hoping to hit near the 450rwhp mark once I install my cat deletes.

Mods in my sig

Great numbers. Long tubes plus catless mids would get you around 450 whp but honestly cat deletes by themselves are not worth much from the dynos I have seen. Little to no gains as the stock cats are like 600 cell so lots of cells for exhaust to flow through.

Unless you throw a GT350 manifold on your car on top of your current mods you will most likely have several cars to makeup.

I gained 16rwhp from the mak cat deletes on my 2015 GTPP. I think most of the gain comes from having a full 3 inch all the way back when you delete the cats.

Smells though!

Mine definitely smells. I've got 1 7/8" long tubes with catless X. Mine slowly transitions from 3" to 2.5". I have 3" welded over a 2.5" ID X pipe so it goes to about 2.75" then 2.5" out of the X. I might go full dual 3" eventually but at this point I doubt it worth it power wise. What's weird is I've seen guys gain just 3-4 whp with cat deletes 16whp is pretty high for sure. I've had cat deletes and catless long tubes and at least on my car the long tubes were night and day gains and I didn't feel anything with my cat deletes.
