2020 GT500 Picks Up 56 RWHP with Palm Beach Dyno Tune!!!!

[@saleen367]

I appreciate that you teach people vs just sell a product. Kudos

[@williamarmstrong1678]

That's my brother cant wait to see what comes next.

[@FlatPlaneCranky]

Thank you for the insight. Your knowledge, honesty and humility are golden!

[@400hpmustang]

The bottom line is Ford has already engineered the air intake to flow the necessary air for that specific engine. If you feel compelled to throw money away on a CAI and gain 2 or 3 HP if that, to each his own.

[@wileecoyote5749]

Yeah I'm sure they did most they could to that motor/trans to brag about 760HP. You'll gain 2 hp with bolt on but maybe something else is sacrificed.

[@400hpmustang]

@I_AM_THE_NET No I do not but that's irrelevant, all 4 cycle engine share the same thread, intake, compresion, power, exhaust. Regardless if it's a Lamborghini 12 cylinder engine or a 2.2 liter Toyota. The engine is only going to consume as much air as needed, dictated by the lift and duration of the camshafts. So spending $500 or so on an aftermarket air intake (CAI) is money thrown away. You would get better results from subtracting 100 pounds off your car and would cost you nothing but a little time. The gains made here on this Predator engine was from tweaking parameters. I'm willing to bet this engine could make 1000 hp with the factory CAI.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

You are overlooking the addition to boost. At stock boost levels, the stock air let system is adequate and was designed as such. It remains to be seen if any upgrades there will yield results at higher boost. Based on every other combination in the past, it will require a larger throttle body, inlet porting and larger CAI/filter combo to perform at the maximum capability of this supercharger. We are talking 1000+ hp. At stock boost level, I agree, it's' not needed.

[@400hpmustang]

@I_AM_THE_NET Running my mouth I have two Mustangs 89LX with everything and a 14 GT with suspension and exhaust. This summer it's cams and intake. How do you like your 2020 GT500?

[@Beefy-Tech]

In a month or 2 mine will be arriving... I cant wait to get a tune at you guys!

[@jeason10101]

The biggest thing to take away from these vids is HP is just a #. I learned that from day 1. I wish everyone would fully grasp that!

[@chrism.728]

Great video, very informative as usual!

[@XeroCreator]

What is the 'drivetrain loss' on the DCT in your experience? I've heard it's lower, but I can't imagine it's anywhere outside of 10-15%, just because it shifts faster... still certainly has a loss somewhere.

[@gustavobonilla971]

Awesome video!!! Excited to see more of these cars!!

[@gtkid7932]

Im just curious on how these compare to a gt etc with a whipple etc? Do you think its worth the money?

[@iantaylor95]

Depends if you have deep pockets, if you don't mind having just a gt and doing what you want to it then a 5.0 would be perfect. If you want specifically a shelby and don't mind paying (mainly) for ingenuity and want power right out if the box then this is the car for you. You can find gt350's for around half the price of this car and you get a manual

[@icool247]

Ian Taylor GT350’s should come with the 10r80 option

[@PalmBeachDyno]

This will be a topic of a new video. The answer is...it depends

[@craigschray4486]

The compression ratio on the stock GT motors is to high. It's a grenade if you ask me.

[@billkratz8723]

Great video honest 2 the point about the air filter

[@streetlifetv9241]

just saw a video of it in tijuana,mexico getting down

[@Rztrsef]

what tires do u recommend for a 1000whp GT500?, I don't want a drag tire, i still want it to take corners, what would you recommend?

[@jeepin123]

Is there a programmer that allows you to unlock the top speed governor?

[@scottcroce5277]

Very nice. Great info BIG THANKS. What are yours and Lees chassis numbers ?

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Mine is 466. His is low 400s

[@superscort57]

Awesome stuff. Happy New year

[@freedom6919741]

Gorgeous color !

[@carbonm2]

Respect.

[@gregwilliams4380]

Take the top of the air filter canister off as I heard that in Lund's test gave them a lb of boost and a extra 25-30hp bot more or less that would kinda simulate the ram air effect on the filter box at speed is what they we're saying and makes some sense.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

That is only for dyno numbers which we aren't interested in. I try to test the car under real world conditions.

[@gregwilliams4380]

@@PalmBeachDyno wouldn't real world conditions be that the car is forcing air into that air box at any speed past 30mph and much more at 120mph. So taking off the top doesn't add the wind but gives the car more area to pull from because it doesn't have any fresh air being pushed in on the dyno. Just a opinion

[@paulmader1052]

That is a beast of a car n love the colour

[@lightningdad13]

random question.... what was the temperature in the shop during the pulls. Sunny Florida always a little warmer this time of year.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

It's not too bad right now. Probably mid 70s

[@gtkid7932]

Lund at over 900rwhp. But i know yall and lund some of the top guys all numbers be around the same

[@melero33]

Lunds car has smaller pulley , 1050x injectors and some other goodies done I'm pretty sure once pbd does pulley swap and same mods car will hit 900 as well

[@edthomas8486]

Hi Ken. Your advice please. I have a 2018 Gen 3 Mustang GT Premium PP. I am about to put a supercharger on and I live in Australia where I am extremely handicapped cause people still see them as race cars and not a lovely street ride. Anyway you featured a Roush R2650 a little while ago. I have done some research and have nothing positive from anyone. I believe they are meant to put out about 700 flywheel horse and a equally high torque level. Everyone has told me I will see the 700 horse once and then it will overheat, once hot timing gets pulled so far only delivers a little more than the n/a car. It is a 10r80 and I want to know if I just put the standard Roush calibration tune in will it give me 700 hp all day long. I spoke with Lund’s Alex and I know that he can be some what controversial in his opinions but he said they are useless. The only other I have access to is the new stage 2 upside down Whipple which is much more expensive but I don’t want something useless. He told me to buy any other blower than a Roush since they changed to work with the port and direct injection and Lund have made a policy that they will not work on the R2650. HELP PLEASE KEN.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

I wouldn't say they are useless but certainly the least desirable setup for 18+. They work ok as delivered but that's it. There is no room to grow with that setup and even at stock boost levels the intercooler is very undersized. I think that blower on the Roush cal will put out a consistent 580-600 at the wheels even when hot. That is enough for some people. If not, I'd consider something else We have tuned 100s of the Roush 2650s with no issues though. Just have to have realistic expectations.

[@edthomas8486]

Palm Beach Dyno . Thanks Ken. Would you be able to remote tune as there is no one here who has any idea? Or am I better to get the new Whipple and can you remotely tune that.

[@orange1soda]

The remote tune didnt work.the stock was gapping the tuned car.then the stock gt500 let off.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

The stock car didn't let off. I was driving it

[@frozenstang3868]

Ken does the gen2 GT's use the same strategy. I have a edelbrock SC that im about to install and the cats are one of my major concerns right now. I have seen more than a few instances online where the cat failed,plugged up and it was game over for the engine.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

All vehicle with cats do the same thing in varying amounts.

[@frozenstang3868]

@@PalmBeachDyno so in the instances i have seen where the cat clearly overheated that it may be possible that the tune restricted the response too much. trying to be gentle here and not point fingers, just a inquiry so i can make better decisions myself along with things to monitor.

[@paulsmith-ld8xl]

Do u adjust cam timing

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Yes

[@M16A2evans]

Very informative video. 👍🏼

[@thomasoj41]

I would like to get my 500 in the mix..

[@gregwilliams4380]

You have to find away to get the traction control to not kick in with launch control! I saw the video with Drag Times!!! I was like ahhhhhbb😤😠🤬 Foot braking did much better on that shitty street with traction off, Even when Speed Phenom did his 10.6 pull same thing, it would go into bog as soon as it thought it was or probably did start to spin the car you could clearly see bogged and not because of power but damn Traction control. Also I am hoping you can also get in raising the launch control above 3200. Iconic also played with his car at my dragstrip in Jackson South Carolina called Carolina Dragway. He Rand 10.4@131 with stock tune 1299 DA 74 degrees and humid as it was raining off and on all day. He did cut traction control off and hit 137mph!!! But et was down for many reasons. The GT500 has to get the launch and Traction control fixed so it can get the 60ft way down. With that power it should be able to pull 1.3's 60ft with good tires.

[@joenobody2580]

Since we are throwing the warranty away, toss the 🐈 s and the 🐈 protection. It will lower egts as well errrr I mean make it track only ;)

Hey my dad has a 72 Gran Torino that he has had since in was a couple years old. He got sick years back back and made it a retro mod with a 2012 gt500 crate motor Vette suspension Moser rear end tci6x 6 speed auto and a frame off restoration he put his life saving into the car and it's beautiful and and it was show quality but things couldn't get tuned And after his money is gone he tried to work on it himself if you could donate the time he has the parts and a lot if brand new parts since his reviews look up project breathless Gran Torino it will give you so much content. He needs help.

I searched for it but nothing came up

Until somebody figures out why there are some spun bearing issues in 5.2s , I would not go past the 7500 rpm.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

We haven't really seen may issues on the 5.2s. We spin the GT350s 8000+ all day long. Even when we put the Whipple's on

Man you are looking skinny or is the other guy a big guy? Is this part of your diet or? Sorry for the distraction, just an observation. I'll be honest here I don't think that I would touch a GT500 until I know how Ford handles warranty issues and stuff like that. Imagine if engine blows up unrelated to a tune and knowing how Ford is and that people are paying way up ADM, you will be in the hole with an expensive toy.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

HA! I thought the same thing. I think it's the shirt. I usually wear a tighter shirt than the polo
