Check out this crash test dummy, err I mean driver, in his RZR. Watch closely as he gets spit out the back of the cage, and gets laid out on the ground.
Glad you have some baseline numbers to work with. If you are doing any mods and want to dyno again..make sure you go back to the same dyno to run it again. Every dyno is different, and going to the same one will give you a better idea if the mod was worth it or not.
Next time you go, try to get a full pull in third gear. Second gear isn't a 1:1 ratio and the torque multiplication can tweek the actual numbers.

How about cracked open from a Corvette like an egg:
I guess I am gonna show my age now. But, I just can't get real excited about having 400 to 500 horsepower in something as large as an Excursion.

Thanks for you input I guess but did you guys actually read the thread? Who's looking to make a race car out of excursion?

Thats the only dyno I ever use as its owned by a good friend...lol
No such thing as a third gear pull on an excursion unless you remove the speed limiter. That will come with time. As a side note, While not exact, you would be surprised at how close the numbers come out regardless of which gear you do the pull in. We have dyno'ed hundreds of cars on that thing and found this through personal experiance.
Good catch, Sheriff. So how fast can a LE spec Crown Vic go?
It depended on the rear gear ratio (One for highway and one for city applications)..but the highway pursuit one was somewhere around 132 and the city one 125...IIRC. Been a long time since I read an article about them so my memory could be a bit fuzzy.

Depends on the year model, and what driveshaft was in it.
The 2006-present Police Interceptors equipped with a 3.27:1 and a 3.55:1 axle from the factory. 3.55 equipped cars are electronically limited to 120 mph due to the lower driveline-critical vehicle speed, while the Police Interceptors equipped with a 3.27:1 rear axle ratio have generally been limited to approximately 135 mph.This compares to 110 mph for the "civilian" model.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"></sup>
Ford used an aluminum metal matrix composite driveshaft for the 1993–2005 Police Interceptors as a measure to allow safe operation at over 150 mph, but it was more expensive than the regular aluminum driveshafts. Ford reintroduced the 3.55:1 rear axle ratio in the 2006 model year Police Interceptors, and set the speed limiter at 120 mph to reduce the risk of driveline failure.
