My MR FP green makes 384 on one mustang Dyno and 375 on another. I just upgraded to a larger TB and a few other small things. I'm thinking I'm gonna be right at 400 on pump... regardless of which mustang dyno.. I'm at 466 on E85 before these current changes.

Pistons and rods ordered. Sleeving block, and other things. It should hit 500hp on E85 and I'm guessing 425 on pump.

I'm certainly willing to admit I might be off a bit but its close. BBX might be the next step. Well see.

I know no matter what HP I make, Razor, regardless of which dyno; you will claim they are all broken. I already paid 40 bucks to use a different Mustang and the variance was only 2.3% as posted in another thread..... Please stop with the negativity about COBB

^^ adding 80+whp with E85 Vs pump gas is impressive!!

Can't wait for my E85 tune

Thanks for the ride the other day. You car is ridiculous fast! I pull c6's in mine with 350 hp and yours is much faster.

Your welcome and thanks.

The 414 HP and 375 TQ was a pleasant surprise.

I've had my evo back from Cobb for about two weeks now. Ended up getting 384 awhp on a 91 and 93 octane mix. I planned on bringing in a jug of pure 93 for the dyno tune but they did it early before I got there. I wasnt very happy they did it early. Kinda like missing your kids very first football game you know?
After talking to the tech, he said he did a SSP clutch upgrade on an Evo pushing about 450 awhp and the stock clutch discs looked brand new. He said stock should be good for up to 500 awhp at the least.

Big thanks to everyone who posted on my first thread!

I've heard the same from both Buschur and Atlantic Motorsports with regard to the clutch packs looking new. Some people are claiming 350awhp is the max but this just doesn't seem to be true. I opted out of that same modification based on that information. Plus, if anything is going to break in that transmission, I'd rather it be the clutch packs before an internal transmission part. Just my 2 cents...

People need to stop talking about hp when talking about clutches.

Haha, I thought it went without saying. I'd like to see someone with an Evo with stock HP and modified high torque numbers. And then hear that guy complain that his trans broke. And then hear him say he was confused because he had low HP and wonder why it broke.

Y'all are making me want to start upgrading! I've been scared that the transmission wouldn't take much more power than stock.

Not possible, if you increase torque then hp MUST increase as well, one o' dem funny laws o' physics....

I believe he is talking about peak hp.

You can do things like increase torque substantially down low without changing the peak hp.

HP Equation is TQ x RPM / 5252

So let's say your peak HP is at 6500 rpm, and it's 297 HP. That means the TQ there is 240 TQ.

240 TQ at say, 3500 rpm is only 159 HP.

You could make up to almost 450 TQ at 3500 and still make the same peak HP of 297 hp, just at a lower RPM.

This strategy factors in VERY WELL in racing classes with HP caps. You can make the car UBER torquey without going over the HP cap.

SSP makes clutch packs and BBX makes turbos.
