Monaro Guys Embarrsed At Mario's Dyno Day!

[OLS108]

nice numbers with the $$ spent I am not a ford fan and I drive an LS1 but I dont care what makes more power its about 1/4 times to me and both LS1's and XR6T have good runs on the board just think where we were 5 years ago with "tunned ls1's" making 210rwkw with high flow mafs and ported TB and now cars can make 260rwkw with just exhaust and tune so just a good sign to where you guys will be in a couple of years.

Miss Aly, what mods have you done to pull 258rwkw's from just $1500?

These figures intrigue me.

Edit, Injectors, centre muffler removed, Xtra air intake that's about it

I had the Xede fitted prior to the Edit and all we could get out of her was 225RWKW

When stock it was 180RWKW

How many Kw's are you making at the wheels for your 13.1??

[DrewBytes]

several had super charges on their 7 litre V8's and making between 245 and 300 RWKW

lol - yeah, right. A 7 litre (427) makes 320 rwkw with a 226 cam, approx 350-370 rwkw with a cam in the 240's, and 400 rwkw+ with a big cam. Add a blower and get anything from 600+. In case you hadn't noticed, they are 5.7 litres stock.

Why would any ones jaw drop for 258 rwkw? Un-opened LS1's have been doing that for ages. There are 3 or 4 un-opened LS1's with 270 odd rwkw pulling 11's, current record being 11.73 I think it was.

You guys crack me up.

[ZAP]

I think a LS1 with a blower is not stock.

What the comparison was the ammount of $$'s spent to gain the KW's

The LS1's need to spend a lot more money to get the same KW.

I dunno where the 427 came into it, but I am sure a Ford 460 could also make the same as a 427.

ummm yep, interesting LS1s with 270 rwkw running 11s and equivalent Ts running 12s. Porky Ts , need stallies

[DrewBytes]

Someone's got to stir the pot occasionally

A stallie, as is diff gears, is still un-opened, as the motor hasn't been touched.

Both vehicles make good gains with little mods. Of course anything with FI is easy to get power out of, it's just a simple matter of upping boost a little, as long as everything else can cope. But there comes a point where you need to change stuff also as the factory normally doesn't give you much room to move on injectors, fuel pumps etc.

Drew,

Serios question, not sh*t stirring, I am surprised that with your horsepower ( as per your website ) you can only get a low 12 Is it a problem trying to get traction in a wagon? Guys here with 350+ rwkw's would be comfortably in 11's.

460 > 427....

Plenty of mild 460's making well into 500rwkw without chargers...

They are awesome engines.
