mate ... I couldn't help myself .. but wake up !! I was having a lend of you ... duhhh
nice people knock before they barge in ... oh .. was that nice?
but I can take it ...

as for the figures ... who cares whether ALL other dynoes are wrong (which is a possibility you know!) ... it is the doing them all at once that is important....
it's about the cars ... not the dynoes ...dynoes are a tuning tool used for before/after or relative ... I'll take the stang to Herrod Motorsport and calibrate all things together ... the dyno universe will be centred

galaxy ... there is a distinct difference betwen the XR8s and the GTs, but not much difference between the XRTs and XR8s (and the 5.4-220).
Though far more XRTs were dynoed, the general difference between the XRTs and XR8 in straight max power was hard to pick, the difference in torque well ..the XRTs looked a lttle better (alot actually)...

it appeared that the cars loosen up about 5-10rwkw ....
we are doing driveline losses in the weeks to come...

cheers

That's interesting about the torque between the eight's and 6T keep us informed about your future run's wont you.

Good to see we can finally put the XR6 Turbos are more powerful than the XR8s debate behind us. My XR8 auto made 212.9 kw with only 2500kms on the clock. Lined up a workmate in an XRT auto with similar k's and ran neck and neck to 180. Seems the extra power just pulls along the extra weight. C'mon Ford wheres the 5.4 alloy block.

Yep for my two bobs worth I reckon the dynos a bit optimistic, especially when all cars ran lots better than averages. Does that mean the 252kw thing was putting out 350 plus at the flywheel?
Stock? Sounds a bit sus to me, but makes for good readind thats for sure.

thought I recognised that dyno result ... yours was the best of the punch there :s6:

I agree mate... bring on the alloy block ...I'm a big fan

but here are some more figures for everyone to think about

XRTs 206.3 manual, 209.8 manual, 210 manual, 202 auto, 200.9 auto
four XR8s .... 208.1 auto, 202.9 auto, 212.9 auto, 205 manual

that is hard to pick for peak power wouldn't you say?

cheers (and thanks bossXR8 for coming up from Geelong for the day)

Just hope you don't run into a Yellow GTO Monaro coupe with 400 rwkw, courtesy of TSA.

svtang, if we all behave there is no need for it. We are all adults.
