well, had to do it. dynojet 91 degrees. car has air filter and the mufflers are gutted for air flow. made 302 hp and 340lb's of torque. The odd thing is I took a friend's stage III roush mustang, supposed to be 450 hp. His tq numbers were only 344, shouldn't his be higher? His is supercharged also.

YEA-----!!! The Mustangs always brag about their HP-- but their TQ sucks----On paper a 450 HP mustang should kill a 350 HP corvette
BUT reality is in a drag race it's TQ that gets the car out of the hole and launches it quickly
So if you take that same Mustang to the track and he races YOU--
he'll have a 3800 lb car with 344 ft lbs of TQ
you'll have a 3300 lb car with 340 ft lbs of TQ

I'll put my money on you every time !!!!!!

Very Well put SIR! My friend has an 07 Shelby that is tuned with the SC and I told him any time he wants to bring the heavy pig and have a go at my Z06 bring it. He drove my car yesterday and totally agreed there was no way.
