4.6L base block - NOT A 5.4L
Any bore
Any compression
Just want to see what kind of power you folks are pushing.

I am not too high right now (boy that did not sound right... 4.6L - 349/326), but in a 2 weeks I will have my top-end build done. I am expecting 385 at the wheels, but shooting for 400+.
I will let you know how it goes.

Thats such a loaded question...
Im sure if you got on a DynoJet on a cool morning at sea level w/ low humidity w/ a set of light 18in skinny wheels/tires w/ a set of 2.73 gears w/ racegas and just ran the piss out of it... there you go, 30hpish over what you really run... too many variables
see where Im going with this...

JM2+1 There is probably a good 30-35HP on a high HP N/A combo variation between a DJ and a MD. Now factor in where in the US/weather and gear ratio......If I just wanted to brag and throw a graph in my window id make a 9:00 appt on the coldest day,take out my 4.56's and swap in a set of 2.73's and put my stock tires back on and I promise you ill pick up near 50HP over my MD graph, but know what? It wont make me any faster down the track so I really dont care about Dyno sheets.To me a dyno is a tuning tool only.

Uh, I'll go ahead and answer your question: last dyno was 348hp, but that's not yet being reflected at the track.:confused:
One dyno session just to check AF's. Mustang Dyno.
338 HP 299 TRQ

I don't know what your complaining about. You are a full second faster than my current ET's... LOL

Yes, but I WANT to be a half second faster than Art and Scott!

Yea but it has nothing to do with horsepower ;)

If Art blows a fart with a good tail-wind, he'll be in the 11's. I would love to see you hit 11.7xx - 11.5xx NA, but I am not too sure that is gonna happen. If it does, I'll pay good money for your secrect, and even better money to not share with anyone else... LOL
Looks like it's baked beans, Taco Bell and Budweiser for supper Friday night...........

Lets see who can get the 11 sec. slip w/ the LEAST rwhp/rwtq!
That would be more driver, eh?!?
Dynojet or Dynojet... just make sure we/they/us are all on the same equipment...
And to make it more interesting... include a weight stipulation...
If its done w/ an overall weight of less than 3500lbs... it DOSENT COUNT :)
Just a thought...
Keep the stripping to the pole dancers ;)
Which means, unlikely until the intake comes out... but ya never know :)

Sweet. I like where this is going. I'll by the first guy in the 11's a steak at Outback... but if you live too far away, you gotta give me an address to mail a gift certificate.

DAMN! I forgot about Dave. He is already in the 11's...

My Auto will have the least rwhp.. My July 08 Dyno showed 291 rwhp 301 rwtq yet I run average 12.4 -- best 12.29 so HP does not matter

So... goin' for it this Saturday?!?:D
How is it different, if at all, running there than Florida?
Wasn't really Driving it hard in FL. DA should be better here this weekend.
As far as going for it, just going out for some seat time and testing. No real changes from the 12.0 runs from last year.

I understand... that'd be a long drive to break something and not enjoy the day.
You only had 1 day w/ the 4.56's; right?
If that's the case you'll get some more out of it :)
Have you ever tried lowest setting on relocation brackest? Has anyone?
I keep mine one notch away... ( have I been my own worst enemy? )
Had the :56's half way through last year.
No Reloc brackets here..
Not really worried about breaking, just tried some different things for the new season. Ended up running out of runs to get consistant. Made a few mistakes and knocked off some winter rust. Coming out with 6 grand launches didn't seem like a good idea without a little more seat time after the break...
