Any educated guesses on how quick and powerful my 08 GT-500 will be?
I got the car in Jan 10 with only 982 miles on it. I love the car and its white with the blue stripes. Here's the questions:
I have only installed the Ford racing power pack with tuner (cold air package with a tune, which claims 40 HP gain), and i put CHE lowering brackets on the rear LCA's to help with wheel hop which it did. The only other mod is a PYPE's axleback exhaust which claims up to 10 HP gain (sounds and looks great).
What do you think a SAE dyno number would be in cool temps?
What quarter mile times could i expect with the stock Goodyears and if i put the new 315 Nitto NT05's on the rear. Let's say someone like Evan Smith from MM@FF's was driving.....
I plan to do the above things and then see who gets the closest to guessing! Or perhaps someone in the forums has my same mods and can share. Should be interesting.
Thanks, John.

[QUOTE=Lifter583;7152050]My boost avg is the same as yours.. Just stock tb and plenum causes allot of air turbulence which causes loss in power.. L&m is an incredible throttle body and plenum setup.. High quality work went into it...

Then those numbers are pretty much Ford Racings advertised numbers of 540 and 510 crank numbers!
