MotoIQ TESTED: Ford Mustang GT Power Packs 1-3

[BillyJRacing]

Hey guys,

This is my first post on here and I thought you might be interested in the back-to-back test I conducted for MotoIQ, bench marking the Ford Mustang GT Power Packs 1-3 on the same dyno, on the same day.

"Ford Performance offers three different 50-state legal “Power Packs” for the 2015-2017 Mustang GT that increases horsepower without affecting the factory warranty*. We back-to-back test Power Packs 1, 2, & 3 on a stock Mustang GT to see if Ford’s claim of 13-37hp increases are legitimate. We then analyze the GT350 intake manifold’s effect on the torque curve to see if it really has less low-RPM torque than stock in favor of high-RPM power. Finally, we determine which packages would be best for street and track use through in-depth torque and gear ratio analysis."

awesome read. Thanks for the detail. I didn't know about unplugging for "dyno mode".
