I've been wanting to check out the low end curves of the stock 8 vs DB' 35r cars to see a visual representation of just what difference there is at lower rpm. I've searched all over, but cant seem to find a bone stock 8 graph.

thanks for the help.

 

Lost part of the reading there in the beginning...

 

^^^ what dyno is that on? seems like it might read a bit high.


when i went to the dyno (dyno dynamics i think) a stock 8 put down 229whp 232 tq

 

From my understanding, VIII's put down about 205 on a Mustang.

 

i have some of evo 8's on our mustang.

around 195-200

i can load one later this week

It's a Dynojet, which is the primary point of reference when discussing dyno numbers. Yes, Dynojets read higher than Dyno Dynamics (and most Mustangs), but that doesn't mean this dyno reads high. I put down 248whp in stock form and ran a 13.1@104 in the same conditions as when I dyno'd, which means it's dead on.

Also, you can't lump all VIIIs together, because 05s had more power than 03-04s. Also X2, 229/232 is quite high on a DD for any year VIII, so either you don't remember what you saw, or that DD had a high correction factor applied.
