Ok, so my Cobra T5 showed up today (well yesterday, I work graveyard shifts)

Ive heard plenty of times that a T5 lose's 10% pwr to the wheels from the engine, and that a AOD loses 25% power from the engine to the wheels.


so with this statistic, my car dynoed at 216rwhp and 262trq with a slipping converter.


15% gain from that is 32.5hp and 39.3trq (so 248.5hp 300.3trq)

sence the dyno of 216rwhp, I swaped my catback, that was stock pipes, with flowmasters welded in for 2.5" mac catback, ive also just swaped the stock fan for a Mark8, and ill be installing BBK un-equal length ceramic coated shorty headers before the dyno. (I have stock "headers" bbk offroad H pipe, and the new mac's right now)



so my guess is 250rwhp and 300rwtrq N/A I will put down.


what do you guys think?

im sure you arent far off base. it'll feel like a whole different car with the 5speed. your %'s sound about right.

holly ****! my aode takes away 15% more power than a stick! well i'm doing a tko swap then. lol

FivePointOhh

i dunno about auto's but i know that sticks range from 9-13% hp loss from fwhp(flywheel silly newbs ) to the rwhp

302army187

yes, ive heard this alot.


a TKO will suck down more power then a T5 just so you are aware.

ctgreddy

well i wouldn't want a t5 behind my motor. especially since i have bigger plans for it down the road and i only wanna buy a trans once.

^^^But it's a whole lot stronger too

if goin by your statistic id add an extra 7-10 with the exhaust swap .. id think that stock pipe was really restricting with your other mods

302army187

you wouldn't believe just the difference in sound.

it was day and night, HUGE difference in sound.

it felt like a bit more power, but sence the converter has been slipping, i dont really get on it anymore.

id be happy with 250hp 300trq, but if i made more you wouldn't hear me complain!
