Guys. Cars read different on dynos, don’t hang up on the numbers but the delta gain. Here the dyno is using Standard Correction not SAE. So it is a 400 whp car on an accurate dyno. What sucks about it is you are paying $$$ for 36 whp gain. Not worth it. You need to add cam setup or go supercharger route.

Baseline on the SS is impressive but not entirely unexpected. I was a little surprised that the mods didn’t add more power. Watching the same mods occur on a 5.0 is very interesting. But they are certainly very different engines. What do the baselines on a Dodge look like?

@muskytuned 11 ай бұрын

@@JussDraftfr :30 It was stated it was tuned at each stage. It's a big misconception that just bolting on parts gives you gains. All of these parts need a proper calibration. That rotofab intake changes the maf scaling and requires a tune. Same goes for the intake manifold and throttle body. The headers are a little more forgiving but definately need a tune to optimize the gains.

My educated guess is that this is a trade-off. While there might be some added cooling effect from the hood being open (especially with the fans blowing), you also likely lose some of the compressive effect of the air being forced into the engine bay (and the intake).

@@poopinator22The 5.0L Coyote in the Mustang makes similar power with a smaller displacement, but has 32 valves and 4 camshafts to make up that difference (the LT1 only has 16 valves and 1 camshaft). It’s not rocket science or anything, they make their power in their own ways, larger displacement vs a more complicated engine. I could argue that the Z06 Corvette that makes 670hp out of a 5.5L engine is so much better than 5.0L Coyote, but that’s just a dumb argument

@Game-The-System 6 ай бұрын

Another drawback of all those valves and cams on the upper engine that is often overlooked is where the weight is located. All other things being even, I'll gladly take a slightly larger engine with a lower weight distribution than one where a large portion of the weight is located higher. Handling matters.
