Hey guys, I was reading where SCT was dynoing their 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 Auto and it only produced 326.23 pd ft of TQ and the HP seemed about right, 360.71. Anyway I knew auto trannies could pull some more parasitic loss than a manual but this much? I thought the car had 390pd ft how much would this equal out to be at the fly wheel? Anyway good news is with the SCT Canned tune they gained an extra 28HP and 34 pd ft of TQ! Any thoughts on why it is so low?
That is what I also thought 2011gt310, but I thought there was a guy on here that ran like 12.7 @115 and I was thinking if TQ was down that low I don't think he is going to be running that fast especially when some of the 3:73 ratio guys haven't been going that fast! I know someone with 3:73 stock GT probably has but sure as heck haven't been the crappy magazine drivers!
Some believe there is a 20% parasitic loss with an auto trans. If that's true, then 326 ft/lbs at the wheels divided by .8 gives you 407 ft/lbs at the flywheel.
Plus do you really the take word of someone that is trying to sell you something to improve performance. Sell a hell of a lot more SCT's with a 30 hp/tq gain than a 10hp/tq gain.
Attached spreadsheet shows torque & power curves from 6 sources. There's quite a spread. All data is at rear wheels. I'll leave it for others to ponder/explain. The SCT auto trans data seems bogus at low RPM's, and the Edmunds (Insideline.com) data a bit too high.
I suppose different ambient test conditions could account for some of this spread, but it's also likely that inaccurate dyno data is involved. The Ford data, which is given at the flywheel, requires the assumption of a driveline loss factor to compute rear wheel HP. I've assumed 0.88, or 12% loss, based on various "expert?" opinions.
hey guys sorry it took me a few to get back, here is the website with the dyno sheets, I hope they are defiantly off, because I have seen the times these automatics are cliping off at the drag strip and they seem too impressive to only be putting out this so called low torque of 326pd ft SCT Performance gains 28+ HP on a 2011 Mustang with just a Tune - Stang TV Forums
