Dyno's are used for tuning. The track is where the real testing takes place. We'll be at the track shortly and will be sure to post our results. The dyno numbers if you're interested will be published in an up coming issue of 5.0 Mustang Magazine.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks, jared

I have a question. I heard a rumor that the Ford Racing whipple supercharger Kits were blowing up stock motors because the boost was being generated so quickly. Is this really a problem that the roots style supercharger is causing or just not a good enough tune or plain and simply the new 5.0 needs stronger internals before boost

This "rumor" is exactly that. There aren't FRPP kits blowing up engines. There's several people I know of that run the kit the way it came from FRPP without any issues. There's also a group of people such as ourselves that have modified the kit and are making way more HP than how the kit comes without any issues.
There's obviously a limit to what a stock motor can safely handle however I personally don't think it's been found yet. That's most likely because people are afraid to make BIG power and hurt a new engine. I know of 5.0L's making 650+rwhp and still running strong but for the others making more than that theysimply upgraded the pistons and rods so they can support more power without risking a blown motor.

Put the car on the dyno today to check a few things before we hit the track Wed night. The car made some sick power. Stock motor, 2.9L Whipple w/3.50" pulley (13-14psi), ARH longtube headers w/offroad X-pipe and a dual pump return style fuel system. I'm not going to post dyno numbers as that's exclusive to 5.0 Mustang Magazine however I can say that it's definitely 9 second power and I'll have a video up of one of the pulls tonight.
For those who aren't familiar with the rest of our setup it's a stock 6 speed manual car with stock suspension and stock longblock. I guess we'll see how strong she really is Wednesday night.
Stay tuned!
