Took the Cougar the New England Summer Nationals in CT this past weekend. Good time overall. Had a mobile dyno set up, I decided to give it a shot. 3 pulls for 80bucks.
Best was 272/357 out of a pretty stock/mild 460. Here's the link to the video of the first pull. I don't think the guy revved it much past 4000. |

Atleast there's brake dust on the wheels now. And not just dust. :couch:

Did not want to blow his dyno rig apart like that mustang video going around....
In all reality though you pulled almost twice over a stock351! |

RWHP I would assume. Fantastic.

OK, so I understand that you have a stock one with this power.
My 75 engine got a new carb, intake manifold, cams, pistons and headers. And I computed ~260 RWHP from my ET. I plan to dyno it in the end of the summer. What loss should be calculated for a C6? |

If a nearly stock 460 can make that kind of RWHP, then my thoughts on Big Blocks might be changing.

Not to step on his toes, but that engine isn't stock... |

Paul is right.
It's not *stock*, but far from a race car motor. To my knowledge: Stock c9 block. .030 over Iron rods Forged Pistons Mild street cam Edelbrock Performer intake (not RPM) Holley 3310 (stock calibration) 5.0 Mustang Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner with tubing/ducts c9 heads.. exhaust bumps removed roller rockers Hooker super comps 1 7/8", 3" collector 3" X pipe (cat-less) into sh*tty 2.5" borla pro xs mufflers (inside of muffler is actually 2.25") and 2.5" tails 3.0:1 non working posi rear mark viii electric fan WOAH!!! wide ratio c6 trans lares quick ratio steering box The only things that have changed since Paul had it: Exhaust, and air cleaner, and gear ratio. I know some of that isn't performance, but that's everything I can think of. Paul, chime in if I forgot anything. Oh, when Paul had this in his truck, it put down 257@4600 and 331@3500 If I calculated correctly (which I THINK I did...) it looks like 272@4200 and 357@3450 for the dyno I just did. Granted they're different dynos, but it seems exhaust makes a difference. I'd love to go down to the place he had the truck done. Just to compare.

Nice engine.
Do you know what loss should be computed for the C6? 25-30%? If you would like to know the engine power? |

I'd say 20-22%, seems to be what people are figuring for a c6/9" on 460ford. I think a 4wd is closer to 30%

Wow. This was a little over a year ago now. I'm currently running a different exhaust. I'm kindof curious to see if there will be any power differences.
