Whoa!!!
Just dynoed my 4V 5.4 V8 the other day with the final list of mods, and thought you guys might like to know the results....

This was done on a chassis dyno, so looking at a little over 700hp at the flywheel!!!!
YAY
For the details:
2004 Ford Falcon GT-P
4V 5.4l modular engine
Vortech supercharger - running about 10lb of boost
Intercooler
Twin Cat back 4" straight pipes
Twin K/N pod filters with twin 4" Induction pipes
Completely customised dyno tuning
Further details are available on request...

Just took the car for a spin...
Hit 186mph!!!
and that was on the rev limiter!!!
I think now I have the power, I might change the diff ratio to give it a bit more top speed... as it is I struggle for traction in 3rd (doing well over 110mph)...
Or, I might change to the Tremec T5/6 (6 speed, and in the new Falcon GT's) gearbox to give me an extra ratio to play with, as I only have the T5 (same as Mustang) at the moment...
Anyhow, will keep you all posted on results
Adios

I hate you 
, in a good way of course , why oh why can't ford put some of those engines in the mustang, I would even take one in a crown vic with a stick of course.
O.K. I'm done crying now, that car has got to be a blast to drive, you need to get some videos of a burnout.

As for a video, i live out in the sticks (about an hours drive to the neighbour), and I don't have a camera
.But yeah the car is a blast to drive, when I can keep it in a straight line...

I have an update, not a good one though.
While cruising at about 180mph, 5th gear decided to lunch itself, which wasn't all that fun. (I am ok though...)
It just popped out, and wouldn't go back in.
Got back home, by slowing down to around 60mph in 4th, hauled the gearbox out, and 5th is totally destroyed, just looked like it overheated, and sheared the teeth off the gears...
So I don't think I will get a choice about a new gearbox.
Am hoping to install a 6 speed hollinger (sp?) now.
Then hopefully I will be more comfortable about pumping up the power a little more.
Might have to replace the diff though as well...
