LMAO..... Did you read this comment from the video?:

105 rwhp? Damn thats pretty weak, those old mid 1990s Rangers were weak. The '02 4.0 I have puts out 207 stock, with the performance chip, K&N cold air intake kit, flowmaster 40 true dual exhaust out the back its got around 270-280 horsepower. Its a little slow because its lifted and I have 31'' all terrain tires

haha, yeah, 73hp! i can tell its exactly that much by what the box says! and manufacturers always use rwhp. lol.... he should have went for the leaf blower!

dont forget that the tread pattern for an all terrain are way less aerodynamic than a highway tread.

i bet the guy that made that comment is a member here though, lol

... speaking of dynos, i was at a mustang show in winston-salem this weekend, and they had a mobil dyno... my friend from work pulled 578rwhp in his '04 cobra. friggin sick! the best dyno sheet i saw though, was a gt500 supersnake with 918rwhp... but i didnt witness him dyno it, he had the sheet framed in his car. ive always wanted to put my truck on a dyno for shits and grins, just to see what it actually makes stock out of curiosity... but i found out the dyno starts at 100rwhp, lol... id never hit that! and i definatly wouldnt do it in public!

There is a shop here that the owners are in the Mustang club I'm in. They just did bolt ons to a 2013 Shelby and got 738hp. It was pullies, a throttle body, and CAI.

Those 2013 have shown to grab some extremely impressive gains over its already monstrous 662 HP with minor bolt-ons. Evolution Performance broke nines with slicks, the usual minor stuff and a tune.

That's nothing. There was (key word "WAS") a Taurus SHO (reads "ecoboost") in Detroit making 8's and 9's with nothing but a tune. Not even tires, just tune.

They figure the turbos were spinning at over 300,000 RPM when the one impeller caught the housing. Ford did replace the engine under warranty, but they made the guy tell them what he did to the car first.

I'll try to find the pics of the turbos. Well, what was left of the turbos.

Awesome. I would like more details if you have any. I really like the new SHO.

Local speed shop had their anual open house and dyno. I pulled 503 rwhp ('07' GT w/forged bottom and bigger blower, stock heads and cams), the 2012 Shelby (bone stock) in front of me pulled 480 something and the 2004 Cobra (anything but stock) behind me pulled about 570+. $20 plus a tee shirt, couldn't pass it up. Some of the trucks that came thru were really wild!

pretty sweet! this one cost $60 for three pulls. he did one pull and the guy said its got a skip in it and didnt want to run it again. he tested the coils monday at work and 3 of them were failing, lol. he has a whipple supercharger on his, not sure the size, but it puts some power down.
