S550 / 5.2 dyno shoot out -- 3.2 Kenne Bell vs Gen 5 whipple vs Hellion TT

[olaosunt]

Great comparison!
Glad I can still pick out the turbo powder curve.
That timing drop off on the turbo car will make a huge difference.
Still and again, VERY cool comparison same dyno same day!

Thanks man . is your turbo build done ?

The timing drop off was on the Kenne bell car but you could tell when we plotted the mph the turbo car was spinning the tires on the dyno and was unable to make as much load (and power ) as it could have .

Dope cars!

Just curious, why build 3 mustangs? Most people would consider one enough lmao.

See below . 4 S550’s actually if you count the GT 350 . I am little obsessed . I added one after the other, and i guess I could have got rid of one when got the next one .... but you get peanuts on resale on these modded cars so rather than give them away I kept them .

I have listed the 15’s and the GT 350 but very few reasonable offers so far ... so happy to keep them .

I almost did trade them all in on a GT 500 but I could not stomach the very low ball offers on top of the ADM added to the price of used GT 500(only had 500 miles but was still used ).
I will eventually get a one IF I can without ADM .
I am also obsessed with having “spare stuff “, engines /transmissions in particular which has led to another obsession ... finding fox bodies(found 3 so far ) to coyote swap .... Nothing more to do with the S550’s
I guess I am an obsessive kind of guy (just a little compulsive)

Like I tell my wife (while I own 4 Mustangs). There are much much worse hobbies/passions (addictions? ) so you can’t be too mad.

That’s crazy! But if you have the money and the time then I see no problem.

Wish I had the money to build my one gt lmao. People like you that push me to do something with my life and make the money so I can build cars.

If you have the money I don’t see a problem lmao.

Imma go out on a limb and say red is Hellion, green is Whipple 2018, and blue is kb 2015.

I’m torn about the blown cars but the above is based on green making more torque in the midrange with a fair amount less boost, which could be due to the higher compression. If this is the case it speaks to how well the gen3 coyote stock heads and cams are since they seem to breathe as well as the voodoo heads/FR cams up top.

Great post with all the pertinent info on each setup. Thanks olaosunt.

 

[Strokerswild]

Notch hoarder!

Looking for one myself, and an '86 SVO.

@olaosunt did you ever reveal which curve was which?

yes , post # 4

 

[engineermike]

yes , post # 4

My mistake; I misunderstood.

That’ssays a lot for how well the gen3 heads/cam work.

 

[olaosunt]

The 18 finally got its 5.2 stripes !

 

[biminiLX]

Nice touch!

“Rolling in my 5.2 “
LOL
Another “5.2” coming soon .

Swapping a 5.2 Alluminator XS “clone “/6r80 in to an 80 Notch I will be picking up.

She won’t be joining the “shoot out “ fray .. at least initially as will start of NA on E85.

Heck ... if I find a really clean Notch roller may be i will do a Voodoo swap/TH400 .. should be able to make it work with a manual control pack and voodoo engine harness .
https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/gen-2-voodoo-long-block.169027/


Then we can have a fox swap NA “shoot out “
dyno and track .

Voodoo vs 5.2 Alluminator .

I will take donations ... cash or a clean Notch
