I was looking at the Superchips website recently and I ran across the dyno output from an '05, both stock and HP tune. It shows the stock torque to be about 420 but Ford advertises about 570. Do these trucks really lose about 25% between the flywheel and the rear wheels? Seems excessive to me...
Do any of you guys have any dyno outputs from an 03 - 05 that you could share, stock or modified? I don't want to put mine on a dyno until I get a new exhaust but I am curious to see results.
i would say 25% is good with an auto, and a 10.5 ring gear....... and well over 1" diameter axle shafts!!!!!!! and that driveshaft, that cannot be light. rear wheel dynos measure acceleration, and thus all of these heavy *** parts must take an enormous toll on numbers........... and remember, they are just numbers! think also about the wheels and tires.......i know each of mine are over 100lbs (i know, not fair, they are a bit bigger than stock).
fwiw, auto mustangs use 20% factor for rwhp vs. fwhp, so with those light duty parts, i would say these trucks are amazing. i can still haze my rear tires from a stop, and thats with a 3:73!!!!!!!! put that into mustang terms, a 35" tire with a 3:73!!!!! you would be lucky to to turn an 18 second quartermile with it.
not a psd here, i ran my v10 05 2504x4 and out of the posted 362 we had 248.5 on the ground holding it back in 3 due to the 95 mph road speed stoper. a 2x4 same engine and trans had almost 269 the same way. looks like about a 30% drag loss for the gassers. i hope your psd does better.
