Our newest shop car: 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L

The 2011 Mustang GT will be our next project car. Check back to see what we do with it each step of the way….

The following pictures, drag times and dyno runs are completely stock, running 87 octane fuel.

 

[DIB5.0]

Why only 87 octane and not the recommended 91? That brings the hp down to 402 and tq down to 378.

it only had 85 miles on it, it had a full tank from the dealer

I see. Same as mine. What a difference 91+ makes though.

Can't really see the numbers on the dyno.. what was your baseline run?

 

[HP Solutions]

baseline HP 347.38
baseline torque 326.34

So this is an auto? Are you going to dyno it with 91 and track it before you start modding it?

these are SAE numbers

And yes, on my next tank of gas i will run 93 and reset the ecu. I will stick it on the shop dyno and put the video up
