Correcting false information again as you can see. it's not a pissing match more of an educational dispute in which one party has the wrong information and must be corrected.

Jeez...Mr. Maxx is establishing a baseline for mods he's spending money to develop for the V-6. I'll go out on a limb and say the numbers he has posted are going up in the very near future, and I'd place a great deal of confidence in the results.

Not knowing much about operating a dyno, I will say that I like his technique. At least he did describe his dyno of choice as being the heartbreaker. Why don't you all run together on the same machine? Seems that would make things pretty even.

Lots of things can make subtle differences. He stressed the humidity. It was a fairly warm day. The car was sitting on 20's. The car isn't fully run in yet and is pulling a rich mixture, which would possibly change as the computer settled in.

Instead, he's already spent the money to install a supercharger. *Ahem*...bet his V-6 is going to pull higher numbers than just about everyone else's once it's dialed in...for a while.

I'm not going to race him.

54rwhp may be a tall order, but 40ish should be possible.... either way, lots of potential in this little gem.
I have the CTS caddy with the V6 DI. I was hoping the new camaro guys would have some sites or know of any companies who are tunning this motor. ??

Good for them, I guess I just wasn't seeing them in the multiple posts I was reading on the mustang forums. And yes, I've seen low 14 second GT's... when I was looking at buying one back in 05'. Then again, I'm not around them on a daily basis, you own one so obviously you're more in touch with the community. Ask me about Supras or Vipers, my two main hobbies up until now, and I'd be happy to fill your head full of my real world experiences with them

Regardless, my point still very much stands -- 8% drive line loss is NOT the norm. All bringing up a specific car (in this case, mustangs) has shown is that they're either far underrating their motors, or people are continually manipulating the numbers. Odd that there are such wildly variant numbers from both vendors and individuals on the platform though... that kind of deviation isn't normally seen in a high numbers production vehicle.

Feel free to post up the numbers on your '10 if you ever get it done, I'd love to start a pool of metric collection going.

Like someone already said, Dyno numbers are one thing and track times are another.

I'm ready to see what the V6 does at the drag strip. I would love to see a video of one going down the track in stock form and then start adding on the mods so we can see what these things can really do.

I'm still up in the air on buying the V6 (which is better suited for a daily driver & affordabilty) or feeding my mid-life crisis with some big cojones.

f you want to compare apples to apples... at 8% driveline loss, an SS camaro @ 426bhp should be damn near breaking the 400rwhp mark out of the box (392rwhp at 8%). As well all know, it doesn't

Feel free to find me examples of this though...provided you actually understand the metric of which you are posting...which as of right now, you don't seem to be getting.
2002 Camaro SS making 301hp. Rated 325. That's 9%. http://www.dragtimes.com/2002-Chevro...aphs-9026.html
Another one making 302hp. 9% http://gmhightechperformance.automot...ade/index.html

These Mustangs wouldn't be the first car in history to come out under rated.

he is just going to deny anything you said, because in his world it's impossible, and they manipulated the numbers.

Well atleast MADMAXX is giving us the honest and ugly truth.

MM, are you going to run the 1/4 before doing any mods?
