After Losing to a Hellcat... Adding Serious Power to my GT500

[@MustangLifestyleTV]

Hey guys I hope you enjoyed the new video of the GT500! We have so much coming for this car and 9s are just around the corner! Make sure you hit the like button :)

[@rawsko0316]

Losing* lol

[@slammed_4750]

I love this channel and the gt500 but this car ain’t gonna run no 9 yet gavins (itsjusta6) when the car had the stock motor and that car is fully built for drag and it only ran a 9.64 or something like that

[@aarongoleman4592]

Are you limited right now because of fuel?

[@ORPnation]

I just read you ran the zl1 but didn’t post it, I am curious why not? Did you run the hellcat as well? Not sure why you wouldn’t share with us what is really happening. I hope you get back to us since it looks like you did re run the cars and you were called out according to the dig machine guy.

[@dennydimitrova4958]

Florida Living ya idk what the deal was with his belt... when we raced the first week he was saying he was down on power which is why he was only at 720whp on Dyno day but previous videos he was at 800whp... yet he put on a new throttle body, pulley and new belt to get to 800whp in this video so idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think he was just thinking it would be enough to beat me considering I have only 680whp, but like I said I have an amazing tuner who really made my car shine

[@ORPnation]

Dig Machine idk he says he’s going 9’s but I’m yet to see a video of the car at the track even in the low 10’s. I’m a fan but not being honest with his subscribers and hiding the races we want to see makes me a little upset.

[@undergroundkage3342]

@Evil Mofo yea im in southwest va near the tennessee boarder and we dont have it here much but there are two stations about 30 miles or so from me that have it theyre both in opposite directions from one another both are sheetz stations and both have stupid good quality (ive tested them between 85-90% everytime the 85 was during winter its 90% during summer its wonderful) I go there and fill up in my 16 fiesta st that is fbo x37 hybrid turbo tuned on e30 (all the stock fuel system can take) so i just gotta add 3 gallons of it to every full tank of 93....i could run full e85 with an upgraded fuel system but my turbo is near the max of what it can support anyways so no use...its just a little 1.6 EcoBoost and has an upgraded stock turbo which is TINY...im doing 280/280 to the tires in a 2600 lbs car which is about 100 lbs less than stock and 100 whp more than stock. It isnt the fastest thing around but it is quick for what it is...perfect daily i still average 28 mpg and its practical. Im gonna get myself a gt500 to sit beside it in 2021 thats gonna be my weekend nice weather big power straight line car that i also take to shows lol. Ill prob start out on 93 but at some point ill have it on e85 ill just have to get more jugs hahaha. Hope they start having it in more places around here

[@ProPBkids]

And yes excited for E85

[@michaelharris748]

I understand what youre saying about the numbers. Haters gon hate. I know for sure this car and this blower going down 2 pulley sizes and adding that huge monoblade is gonna pick up some significant hp 70 wheel sounds about right. With cams its gonna be an animal. Does the car have a lower? I assume youre gonna do that after the build...throw in those cams, higher compression, a 10-15% lower and e85 and that thing will def hit past 4 digits on hp and torque easily. Gonna be nasty

Old comment but both if these cars are modded well beyond factory hp so what they do stock vs stock is irrelevant.

[@GeneralEOD]

I’m surprised this 9.0:1 low compression stock-bottom engine made 800 wheel HP and Torque. This engine needs to be stroked to 6.0 liters; eagle rods and crank and reshaped pistons for 12.5:1 compression. Heads need to be ported to get as much AFR into those cylinders as fast as possible

[@karlhopkins713]

Boreing engines is retarded. Just cauae unnecessary heat which causes issue's.

[@midnight347]

They are already max bored out factory basically. It's a 5.4 that has been bored within an inch of its life at the factory. It wouldn't do much for it because honestly the 5.8 really doesn't make much more power than 5.4 when running the same setup otherwise so why would a 6.0 make a noticeable difference? It wouldn't. It can make 800 wheel with fbo and this badass gen3r blower. The stock blower can do it on e85 pullied to hell and back.

Personally, I'm content to wait until you get the built motor and all the suspension system tweaks done before you take it to the dragstrip. It's great that the new mods gave you some respectable gains, but I'd rather see you stick with your original gameplan and get it done right before the dragstrip. No sense having something go wrong before all the real majic happens, could be very costly.

[@jasonvazquez3700]

Stop messing with that supercharger and put a twin turbo on that car. Then you will see the power you want.The supercharger is taking to much power from the engine to make power. You can make more power less boost.probably make 800 +900 pump gas.

[@MustangLifestyleTV]

I love turbos. But I have no plans to turbo this car.

[@chadkent1241]

Lb for lb of boost turbos are the ultimate power adder

[@midnight347]

@@chadkent1241 it isn't always about absolute max power. Turbos come with their own set of headaches. It completely changes the character of the car. The way the power comes on isn't the same the feel isn't the same the sound isn't the same. Vmp blowers are some of the most efficient blowers out there making this kind of power with an untouched lower on pump/boostane with a 2.65 liter blower is pretty good imo. Over 800 hp and torque to the tires. The terminators and the gt500s are two cars that need a positive displacement blower on them it's just part of the DNA and their personality. You want a turbo build go coyote.

[@jonathontalley]

all this work from the cobra and all you needed was a 2.9 gen4 which is making 900+ on stock motor and cams Seems like a backward move

[@christopher5863]

Exactly and he could have had money left over to throw a teksid block with better internals in it at slightly higher compression.

[@midnight347]

Yea maybe on e85. E85 and cams is a huge power difference from just 93/boostane and stock cams. The gen3r can make every bit as much power as a 2.9 liter Whipple can equal setup for equal setup all day long and it does it with less displacement and makes more torque by nature and is more snappy down low because of the tvs tech it has. You say all that work lol all what work? A tbody and pulley change while still running stock fuel system? Doesn't seem like alot of work to me. I guarantee a gen3r can do 900 with e85 and cams hell probably alot more than 900 codey Chaney did 925 with it on a stock motor with no cams but he was spinning it pretty hard at about 27 psi. The gen3r is plenty capable of making power. If you think otherwise you're sadly mistaken. You're also mistaken if you thought it took alot of help to get the gen3r to make this power considering the setup and the fuel he's on its solid numbers. You can't compare against cammed e85 setups that is probably over 100 rwhp worth of power difference at this power level so it isn't comparable.

[@midnight347]

@@christopher5863 you can't go teksid block it would no longer be a 5.8 or a 5.4 it would be a 4.6. No reason to these blocks can take big time power when sleeved. He didn't do much a throttle body change and pulley swap isn't a big deal. He did something to help his belt slip.
