This will give an idea on the kind of numbers we can expect, although completely different car and engine, the base HP is about the same, and I'm assuming we will be running 6-10lbs of boost.

2010 Mustang GT, stock pull was 277 hp 299 torque after the Vortech V3 install 444 hp, 400 torque with 10lbs of boost. This was a warranty install with a safe tune.

Here is a video, different car, you can hear the sound of the V3, on a mustang,
hood is up though.

A Ford Mustang has a compression ratio of around 9.8 and a bigger displacement.. hmmm

Yep, throws all the calculations off. Their 9.8:1 cr is completely different than our 11:1 cr. Based on that figure, we will make more hp per pound of boost introduced into the engine.

Yup. I'm going to guess around 500ish for our kit. I guess we shall see soon because they are going to give an update on the G.

No way, that's a 50% increase.

I wouldn't expect too much more than 400.

We'll see what Stillen comes up with...I'd be fine with 400 as well...

Keep in mind the '05 and '10 Mustang GT has a 4.6 liter V8. Quite far off from the VQ37 to make comparisons. Even the old VQ35 in the 350/G35 would be a better comparison. Haha, I'm a fun killer? Perhaps, LOL.

My guess is 460 range for the race kit.

Low 400s is all I really want. That's perfect for a street car of this weight.

I would be pleased with 350 lbs/ft of torque at 3k RPM.

At 3k rpm I think that is asking for much. The AAM TT that made 500whp/372wtq only puts down about 280lb-ft at 3,000 RPM. Peak wasn't until after 4k.

Though any little bit of extra grunt down low will help. This car has no balls until you get past 4k.

I wouldn't use AAM's TT numbers as a bench mark yet. GTM was making much more torque with their 500whp stage 1 package

Yeah but a S/C will start to produce a little earlier in the RPM range than a T/T setup.

I'm still thinking 350 that low is going to be a bit of a stretch. I hope I'm proven wrong (I'd love to make that much torque at 3k), but I just don't see it happening.
