As I've been typing up a list of future mods for my car over the last week or so, some questions about horsepower have come up. I plan to do a split ratio of cosmetic and performance upgrades over the next several months to two years. I'd say a 60/40 split of looks/performance as of now.
That being said, I've been trying to do the math to somehow find a way to reach 500rwhp with a naturally-aspirated Coyote. I certainly haven't ruled out going balls-to-the-wall and installing a supercharger sometime down the road, but it's not anywhere on the immediate horizon for me. I can do a LOT of other mods for $6,000-8,000. Plus, my car is a daily driver and doesn't get raced, so as sweet as some boost would be, it's not a high priority at the moment.
I haven't had my car Dyno'd yet to find out the exact current horsepower number, but my best guess is somewhere around 425 at the rear wheels based on my current performance mods, which include a CAI, 93 octane tune, H-pipe and the Roush axle-back kit. I'm wondering if adding a larger throttle body, larger intake manifold and long tube headers would get me to my goal of 500hp. When Motor Trend Dyno'd an un-modified GT350, it came up with 467rwhp. While I know the Voodoo differs a LOT from the Coyote other than just that additional 0.2 liters of displacement, I don't think it's a far-fetched idea for me to reach 500hp.
Based on what I've researched, the parts in the list below can each give the Coyote an individual HP boost by themselves over stock HP of about:
30hp - Steeda ProFlow cold air intake with 93 octane tune
5hp - Resonator delete H-pipe and Roush axle-back mufflers (or a full cat-back system)
30hp - 1 7/8" Long-tube headers with high-flow cats
5-10hp - 85 to 90mm throttle body
10-20hp - Cobra Jet or GT350 intake manifold
Considering the stock RWHP of the GT is about 395, I'm guessing that when working together as a whole, these parts would give me the additional ponies needed to reach 500, but that's just an educated (or merely hopeful) guess. Does anyone know of any members in here who already put together a setup like this and did some Dyno runs to get some hard data?
