My 1500 HP Shelby GT500 was the same way! When my car ran at the Texas mile we lost traction all the way through 140 MPH and still ran 227 MPH. Definitely changed up the drivability and turned the HP down for the streets. You wouldn’t believe how much faster you can be just by gaining traction over HP.

I'm trying to get a build like this. I fixed up a 2008 GT500, but that won't really do this kind of horsepower so I'm looking for a 2014 GT500 as my base and I'll get started on some of the modifications that I've seen from this channel! I need to find a machinist to help me achieve this goal though by porting the heads/lower intake. Thanks once again for making these videos as I get to see what goes on with the different little bits and pieces that all go together to make a car like this work.
@chadkent12413 жыл бұрын
The right build can do this with a 5.4. The world record standing mile ford GT made north of 3,000 hp after John Mihovetz prepared the factory block and heads to achieve that feat. Al Papitto used to build these as well.

Great build. I would highly suggest putting 4:10 gears in that vehicle just due to it being a heavier car and the gears being extremely long. Your leaving a lot of acceleration on the table and with that motec it would be a perfect marriage.
@MustangLifestyleTV3 жыл бұрын
I think 4.10 is too steep for 1350whp
@boostbaby21733 жыл бұрын
@@MustangLifestyleTV it has 3-31 gears from the factory and it’s a double overdrive and your probably doing 120 in 3rd gear. Your are losing boost and acceleration when you shift because they thing is falling off due to gearing. Plus that’s a damn near 4K lb car with you in it. 4:10 gears will give you a mechanical advantage and with that traction control you can take advantage of it. Trust me it will be night and day. It should also put you into the top of 4th gear through the quarter which is what you want. Even with that power you are going to get gapped by less powerful cars not only cause you have a manual but because the gearing and the weight the vehicle. Trust me mine makes just as much power as yours but in a 2990 lbs street car but it runs mid 7’s and cuts 4’s through the 1/8 mile with 3:55 gears through a 4l80e with a manual valve body. And we are still sorting out the setup.
