Uh...Holy shit!

NM, the Aero made 190 at the crank, so probably more like 170-180 RWPH.

@ 170hp = 143mph
@ 180hp = 145mph

[Blaze86Vic]

Graciously assuming a .45 coefficient for a Box, and that the taller height increases the area to about 27 ft^2

160mhp would require 330 rwhp.

I'm working on getting him over here....Got a long PM with his setup too. Pretty neat car.

[Blaze86Vic]

Repost the PM please as I can't PM him!

[mrltd]

Reposted his PM in the Modded Panthers sticky.

What ever happened to getting him over here? yes? no? maybe

[88Vic]

Someone get him over to us. I'd do it, but i'd have to be a member of CVN, and from what i've heard here I don't want to be.

[Blaze86Vic]

It's not an evil place. It's just not the same environment as here.

[Grand Marquis GT]

Pretty nice setup, indeed. Maybe i'll go with air ride and get that low, but have the option to get higher!

[Dave84]

yea thats a neat one

I could handle the money part, If only I had time, a place to work, and knowledge. That car is crazy. I couldnt even imagine the look on a porsche or BMW owners face, nevermind that most BMW owners think their cars are on a god-like level (i know, I've gotten into fights at work with BMW customers about just walking into the shop and telling me how to do my job, most are assholes) It would be oh so sweet to spank an M3 with a box...

Looks like he doesn't say how much horsepower he's putting down. Or did I miss it? Still, with the 408, and having it built up the way he does, it's probably making at least 400 at the crank.

I assume the equation you gave there is the amount being put to the ground, though, right? Not at the crank? Which would lead me to another question, that being what's the ballpark figure for power loss in the drivetrain assuming an AOD trans and posi rear end?

a stock 302 with 165 emission legal AFRs will make 400hp. a 408 with 225s will make over 500

[mrltd]

I think I need to save up for some AFR's!

518/525 on a low compression 408 with the 205 heads.

AFR heads are pretty top notch heads. Back when they were new I think Mustang Magazine did an artical trying to get 400hp NA from a stock bottom 302. They used AFR 185s and accomplished it. According to them it was a 100hp+ bolt on head. And yeah with a cam and intake they definitely got the 400hp.
