Jack Roush's Visit to Brandon Ford (11/03)

Well, Roush brought their Dyno down here to Tampa (Brandon Ford) last Thurs. and I saw a bunch of sweet Roush's, L's, and other stangs (including Jarryd's 03 Cobra) get dyno'ed, and got mine dynoed as well . Well, I dyno'ed...

164.12whp
194.44tq

I wasn't dissappointed at all, but I thought I was missing a few, then I realized that the first run, done in 3rd, went to almost 5300rpm's but the other 2, done in 4th, were shut down at LESS THAN 5100!!! (due to speed limiter) in 85deg heat, so that 164.12whp was at about 5080rpm, with the graph still climbing!!! So, I extrapolated the tq curve of the 4th gear pull to 5200 based on the curve given in the 3rd gear graph and calculated the hp from that (hp=(tq x rpm)/5200) and came up with 168.29whp @5200rpm!!! Thats a lot more like what I was hoping, especially since the tq curve was still fairly flat up to the 5280rpm where they shut down the 3rd gear run. So, I assume my car probably makes ~170whp if run to 5300 or so, based on the graphs, so I feel pretty good about that knowing that I have as few mods as I have.

Oh, and Jarryd put down 371.xxWHP with ONLY K&N!!!
