> 500rwhp will power a foxbody into the 10’s with ease and more than enough on the street. In a heavier car it may not be a lot of power but that’s why dynos don’t win races. There are WAY more factors that come into play. I have been going to the track for along time and I have seen 400rwhp cars spank 500+rwhp cars. That is why most guys serious about racing and getting good track times don’t spend there time on a dyno. Hell, most of the fast cars at the track have never even hit a dyno, here is a guy I knows old 07 GT500…

yea that car runs strong i love it! dyno’s are just good for a base line and estimate on power but a good devide to tune the way ur vehicle runs. 500whp NA in most cars will get you in 10’s and im talking sports cars, not a 1950’s led sled. we all have full race weight cars for the most part, i was just sayn a ls1 can make 500 with head cam and mayb and intake and run 10s with full interior and supporting mod such as a 12b or 9. i dont know of many head cam mustangs intake mustangs at full weight running times like that, and yes i know a fox is light and awesome but a stock fox body 5.0. h/c/i in the 10s?(im only talking stock b/c 99% of us have stock/factory motors)
