We Broke the STOCK ENGINE DCT RECORD With Our 2020 GT500! | 8.80 at 158MPH!

We broke into the 8s a few weeks ago with our 2020 Shelby GT500, but that didn't stop us from looking for areas to improve. With some tuning and suspension adjustments, we've finally got a handle on managing the Whipple 3.8L supercharger and looked to put those adjustments to the test on our latest track outing! We also took our tuned 2021 GT500 out for some hits!

Probably one of the strongest stock engines out there stock 760hp at the crank 690whp Ken's car is what 1260-1300whp

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Should be around there, yes. Never been dyno'd with this pulley(2.75)

[@Mazzerants]

Seems a majority of manufactures are making overbuilt engines these days. Even the small 2.5 TFSI Audi motor can hold around 700 wheel. The 4.0L TFSI has seen over 1100nm crank on upgraded turbos. Chevy got their new 6.2 doing great as well.

[@shannonbunch1003]

Curious what your trans temp was?? And were you cooling down each pass?? The launch is unreal, I guess me personally I would worry about the transmission with this tune, I mean on the street from light to light everything would be cool... on the track I'd worry myself sick, but I'm sure with upgrades and a racing trans cooler would solve that issue ( if it was one) amazing tune and 1 badass mustang, Thanks 4 sharing

Is it better to manually shift in the gt500 or mustang in general over leaving it in auto ??

[@deathscythehell7937]

Wow, I've been up in the air about getting a new GT-500. I have a 014 Supersnake widebody 1023rwhp built engine, a 20 GT-350R supercharged 926rwhp built engine. Both low 10s looking to get a Whipple 3.8L for both. (Still going to happen) But now watching your passes you've got me thinking about getting a new GT-500. If that's the stock engine I'm I'm wondering what it'll be capable of with a built engine. I don't leave any vehicle I own stock. Since I'm just across the state in Tampa I might be paying you guys a visit real soon.

[@FociPoint]

That gt350 has to sound absolutely amazing. Last time we were down at BMP, my friend brought out her '20 GT500 running high 10's if I remember correctly. We'll be back down this month. I've got a '15 S5 with only a stg1 tune (ecu and trans) which brought me down from a 13.1 to 12.2. Will be doing lower pulley and e40, pretty sure this will get me into the 11's.

[@deathscythehell7937]

@@FociPoint Thanks, planning on getting the 3.8l for both. Oh yeah it's a beast, cracked the high 9s a few weeks. That's not the only beast I have, I have a supercharged 66 Backdraft Cobra replica. 2900lbs w/ me in it 903rwhp. No antilock brakes, no traction control, only power steering, want to talk about scary.(what a rush) I've only been able to consistently run high 9s, it has a lot of potential to be faster. But getting it to hook up is the hard part, it'll break the tires loose in the first 3 gears.

[@danmyers9372]

@@deathscythehell7937 - Had a buddy a few years back who bought a continuation Cobra with an aluminum block stroker FE that made just under 600HP at around 2400 lbs. That thing would also spin the road race tires in the first 3 gears and was a beast. I can’t imagine it with another 300+HP. With the short wheelbase that thing must want to swap ends in a heartbeat.

Why do these dct gt500s sound so slippy, is it just the audio or is it built in to save parts etc?

It’s slipping clutches bc it can’t handle the power. He can counter it by pulling more timing on the shift but he just didn’t on those passes. Mostly has to do with the trans temperature then it’s abt how much power it can take on the shift

[@joelsavage8254]

Listen to the DSG stock GT500, it's shifts are instant.. Blue cars clutches are slipping because it's really close to double the stock HP and the stock clutches can't handle the pwr.
