For current bragging rights, you can't beat it...this car is obviously a monster!
However when you take a look at the power and torque curve you can see that a stock car makes more hp and torque up to about 4k rpms (well into the power/tq band given the 6500-7000rpm limit). It looks like the turbos don't fully kick in until almost 5000 rpms which is relatively high for a 6500 rpm limit. Since this car makes roughly 2x that of a stock car you can see how quickly the power and torque build. This is a recipe for wheelspin and an undriveable car on the street on street tires. Put on some drag slicks and take it to the strip and this car will be unbelievable in the 1/4 mile. With street tires on the street, my guess is that a totally stock car will beat it to 60mph and 100mph.
Keep up the good work. It will be interesting to see how the clutch, tranny, drivetrain hold up to this abuse. The stock tranny is pricey.

I doubt very much a stock car would beat this one to 60 maybe 30 but by 60 the turbos would've gained enough rpm to activate.

Actually, the car was backed off the dyno with the same tune it made 1012WHP and taken out for some film shots. It hooks very well in 2nd. The GT has an amazing chassis to take this much power and put it to the ground on a set of Nitto Drag Radials.
drove it today and surpisingly there is really not much lag
at about 3500 is when you ehar it spool up.. dont forget the motor itself is not bad.. at 4000 it start becomming linearly violent..
the one big difference is how much i notice that the ride without a blower simply seems to be as if somebody pulled out 1000 LBS out of the car and the engine just feels lighter..... granted at 4000 on it feels like a slingshot and yet the NITTO's held all of 2nd gear ( on the limit of traction)...

Congratulations on the numbers. I have to agree, these cars do put the power down better than any rwd car I have ever driven with big power.

Had both, sold both
On the subject of the power kickin in quite late in the rev band - I think that a solution using the Ford racing long header would help those turbos rev up quicker...
I know that it complicates the tubing a bit, but it would be worth it I believe...
Also an air box using the stock air inlets would be better that a filter sucking just above the exhaust...
But again - your TT set-up is just down my street.. well done fellas.

I agree. However the inlet air temps are still doing great and with the gearbox in this car there is no lose of power. It always comes down to trade off's. The tighter we have to make the piping to accomadate the changes is going to increase the restriction within that pipe. You have to remember that this will also cause an increase in temps. We have a good size back housing on the turbo right now and if someone was not wanting this power level it can always be stepped down in size for a faster spool. We have been playing with turbos for a number of years and for this application and the power Joe was wanting to make we feel we made the right decision.
There are more plans for Joe's car and we will have the chance to see the gains over the stock manifolds. As for now I have to say that Ford spent some time on this project and it really shows.
