[@chadkent1241]

Mk II motorsports gt did 281 mph in the standing mile on stock block, heads, and crank and ultimately went 300.4 mph with an aftermarket crank. That's near 3,000 hp from a stock turbo boosted 5.4L.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

[@DWH300]

I'm continuing to be amazed how much power you are obtaining with I believe a basically stock block and internals. I remember the DCT had horsepower limits and you are able to exceed those numbers. When you put your combination together. The Dyno never knew what hit it, and now a built engine coming to handle I'm guessing in the neighborhood of 2000+ horsepower. I have to ask. At what point do you change from the DCT to a C4 or a Turbo 400 racing transmission like used in the Cobra Jets to handle the power. Like I've said before. You're the Garu of the Shelby GT500. Great video and great explanations of each step. Thanks!

[@harmanpreetsinghpunia2568]

I am new to car modification, i usually see vlogs like these to get a better understanding and gain knowledge as much as i can, i noticed upper pulley 3.25 and stock lower…. It is any rule or something to keep the lower pulley stock? What happens if you change that… and also when you broke your axle in last video, did u replace it with a stronger one or same or anything?

[@excelerater]

24PSI on a stock engine is impressive.....Hope she hangs tough

[@PalmBeachDyno]

😅 We hope so too

[@jpscharged]

Are you still limiting torque to save the gears in the trans? Would think that 3.8L gen 5 would blast right into 4 digit torque neighborhood.

[@americanassassin001]

You guys should take a look at what Brett Lasala is doing with a Predator block. He made 2505hp on a stock block and internals Predator based engine and he just set the world record at 6.26 sec at 226 mph on a radial tire at Sick Week 2024. The Predator engine is a bad ass engine. Guys im sure that car will make way more power and will handle it nicely.

[@Sub-Zero-392]

I've attended an SRT performance driving school in which I drove Redeyes, vipers and the Demon. Yesterday for the first time ever I drove a GT500 Mustang 🐎 and it scared the fuck out of me! I was shock after I got out, but I was hooked as well. Before I even turned the car on I looked over the hood view and gulped. I could just feel it. The 7 speed DCT was violent! Waaaaay above anything else I've driven. Ford absolutely killed it! A car that does ten's on the drag strip, six second range 60-130 and it rounds the track better than any POS Corvette or European super car and it does all that on the factory tune!!!

@Palm Beach Dyno Does thr GT500 blower fit on a Gen3 coyote with the DI fuel system? Or would head spacers need to be used to clear the DI fuel system? Reason I ask is there are going to be GT500 take off blowers galore for sale.

[@midnight347]

Yea cuz making over 1000 to the tire on a stock blower just ain't near enough power smh. The internet and KZbin has made people power drunk everyone wants to keep up with the Jones and have the next best thing. The stock blower is capable of putting out more power than 99.9% of the owners will ever need or be able to properly use yet alot of guys will switch to the whipple just so they can brag about how big it is and get even more unusable for the street power than they already have on the stock blower. The whipple really isn't that impressive imo considering how much bigger it is than the stock blower it's kind of a disappointment.

[@tylerolson5860]

@@midnight347 IMO its only for a built engine and fully built setup and pullied down. It wont hit nearly as hard as a smaller blower with a baby pulley that takes less to spin. But on E85 built engine and pullied down I bet this thing swings for 1500whp is pretty easily.

Hey ken, are you purposely limiting the torque, and if so how much do you think it would have been if you tuned for max torque?

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Yes by quite a bit. Without porting and leaning on it I'm sure it would be well into the 900 range

[@codydiamond7906]

Would have liked to seen the 1140 stock blower pull vs the 3.25 1187 pull.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

I didn't think that was a fair comparison. The 1140 number is not very repeatable. The only time I've made that is with a brand new belt AND brand new pulley under favorable conditions. Any other time, even with a new belt it hits right at 1100 on my car and all the cars with the package

On the track, that 2018 5.0 would probably cut better times since it's ~400 lbs. lighter and higher compression means it might build boost faster. But what about fuel? Is he going to have to run C16, etc.? Or maybe E85 + meth? 12:1 seems like a high CR to run a lot of boost!

Safe is a relative term. We are confident in the stock block at the 1000-1100hp level. If you are concerned about longevity, then a built short block would be the way to go.

@@PalmBeachDyno are the coyote block and the GT same aluminum cast?

[@asdf51501]

Question: This is an engine with a stock bottom end, whose redline is defined by Ford at about 7500 RPM. In these dyno tests, you're revving to 8500 RPM. What makes you confident that this is safe to do?

[@PalmBeachDyno]

I'm not confident. I'm doing this to test the limits. With the amount of abuse these cars have taken at that RPM range for over 1.5 years, I'd say it seems to be ok to rev them that high. If you are concerned on what he engineers think, I would guess that doubling the horsepower would be more of a concern that this point.
