The TRUTH about the 2005 3v GT

mdvaldosta · 10-27-2004, 10:05 PM

Well, my tuner (modular powerhouse in Alpharetta) just dyno'd an '05 GT...

This FUGGIN thing just laid down 279 rwhp, 300rwtq STOCK ... a/f was way rich 11:1 ... says with a tune (more timing, less fuel) this beast will hit 300 rwhp... STOCK!

Guys, the '05 GT made more hp than ANY stock Mach1 he's ever dyno'd... O...M...G

Unbelievable. Ford seriously undertuned and underrated this mustang. With a REAL tune this is a mid-low 13 second car with drag radials.

I stand "somewhat" corrected... although untuned its still no where near a mid 13 second car on street tires... a 13.9 would be impressive. This car, afterall, is like driving a semi down the track with that extremely un-aerodynamic front end - but the power... for reference a stock 99-04 GT lays down about 225 rwhp

that one looks alot better than the charcoal one i tormented the other day. they got to be pigs with that much to the tires,and
only cuts a 13.9

is there going to be a headswap kit? or am I just dumb

What I dont like about them are the tires... 245/55/17's! Thats just to tall of a tire and looks like sh!t in my opinion. Hey, Joe...as of right now I have 276rwhp. With a good tune what would I be looking at?

mdvaldosta · 10-27-2004, 11:54 PM

Oh I dunno, thats a really strong number as it is... cams and a better tune would definately put you over 300

And yea those are tall tires... good for the dragstrip
