Video of my 299/323 dyno run.

I wasn't able to watch the vids, but the #'s are nice!! Do you now how much the x-pipe was worth?

Good numbers and the car sounds nice too! :thumbup

Thanks. Not sure how much the x pipe and cats gave me but it had to be around 10 or so. The overall gain is about 20-30 rwhp and I doubt all of that came from the CAI.

couldn't view it :sleeping:

That's wierd, its playing fine for me. Here is the direct link to the videos:

Take it for what it's worth, but I have read from more than one performance source that a good CAI and a custom tune are worth 20+ RWHP some of the sources cite as high as 27 RWHP. But sure sounds nice and the X-pipe should benefit future mods imo.

Good numbers!

There is not much top-end power in the X, maye 2-3 RWHP, the gain is mainly mid-high range, let's say 3500-5000 RPM, and mostly TQ, as you can see on your numbers you have great TQ in that baby!

Beautiful piece there from Bassani!

I think it's a good mod as you WANNA feel that pull in the middle, that's where you're driving when getting on it! The sound is a true bonus!

awesome #'s but how much of that gain do you think came from no back wheels to spin up?

Highly doubt there was any real change for two reasons.
1.) It still had to spin the large metal flanges that hooked up to my lugs.
2.) This is probably an even more accurate way of dynoing b/c unlike having different wheel sizes all cars dynoed on this machine would have the same weight to spin. I am sure that whoever designed the machine added some sort of weight or resistance that would equal having wheels on it.

Where are all the V6'ers who think that the GT has like 140 horses now? My cousin who works at a Ford engine plant says the V8 has more power than Ford is letting on, and slightly modified ones like these show he is right. Great job, thanks for the video!!!!

The V8 definatly has a lot of power and eventhough a lot of people complain b/c it is so sensitive that it needs a tune with everything on the other side of the coin it responds real well to a few mods and a tune.
