knowing Ford, those numbers are way underrated, and has tons of mod potential.
the new production Shelby GT500 for 07, found its way to a dyno. Rated at 465hp/460tq. It put down 488hp/490tq at the wheels, stock
Ford GT was rated at 550hp/550tq. It did 540hp/575tq to the wheels

But why not just use the diesel powerplant that comes in most F350’s and just get a bigger turbo with more boost? 500-600 torque would be easy.

fuck, all you need is a tuner program to make 600 LBS/FT. bigger turbo would yield 700-800 LBS/FT

It takes way more than JUST a bigger turbo and more boost to make power in a diesel. Diesels are totally different that gas motors. A gas motor its mostly air that makes your horsepower (to a certain extent) … a diesel … its the fuel that makes the power. Your can take a diesel with its stock fuel setup … put on a HUGE SP61 turbo … or even go with a big twin setup … and your not going to put down big numbers what so ever. You HAVE to have the fuel to push everything. They need to be overfueled to make big horsepower and tq. Once you reach a certain power level … the fuel will over take the turbo with make your run extreamly hot. Right now im lacking a some air and im already pushing 43 psi. I can peg my 1600 pyro and aluminum melts at around 1250.
Not trying to be a dick here … just thought id put in my imput

I’m still betting its underrated, and probably runs faster than the Lightning (2004)

I sure have, but the srt-10 is still based off the 1/4 ton truck frame. Unlike the f350

you guys mean 1/2 ton right? a 1/4 ton would put you in the s10/ranger range

Im aware that anytime you increase airflow, fuel needs to be incresed to compensate. Im not suggesting that Ford needs to push the tsunami to the “unsafe” temperature levels that your diesel is reaching under full load. But your truck is also making over 900 ft/lbs of torque. Ford is only looking to make 500-600 ft/lbs. I was simply stating it would have been easier to make 600 ft/lbs with a diesel than it would have been with gasoline. 😉

I totally understand that you were just stating that it would be WAY easier to make 600 ft/lbs with a diesel powerplant. Just didn’t want other people to get confused … thats all … :bigthumb:

Im just saying that dodge makes both a 4 door and 2 door. So why couldnt Ford do the same, i mean they do make 2 door F350’s.

Okay, let me rationalize what im trying to say here for you. If you were going to build a fast truck… Would you choose an F350 Crew Cab as your platform? Or would you pick a 2 door F150?

Yea, i see what your saying. But the V10 doesnt come in the F150’s, so maybe thats why, or maybe b/c they did the lightning and the supercharged harley trucks and both werent hot sellers. Who knows why for wants to do this to a F350, i guess they only know.

Like the point that was made below. They’ve made a fast 1/2 ton. Let’s make a full ton, fast.
