2001 Ford Mustang GT - stock vs. bolt on dyno results 

Literally all I see is automatics on here are you blind

DestruxandExploze 3 years later. Guess I’m still blind. 😂

FR it's crazy how few vids on autos exist. They're really capable transmissions

Agreed! Both the 2v and 4v sound amazing with full exhaust.

I have a 2v ls1 sounds better and the old 5.0

paul garcia Lol chevy sounds like fart claps

It won’t do 150 😂

@@pantheranegra2261yes it does lol

@@pantheranegra2261dose I hit 135mph 2 days ago so it definitely dose hit 150mph

JaVvii3 I just got my 04 last month got full bolt on Im hitn the dyno today

The E Card Man With Vids lots of older v8s get spanked by todays v6s or even v4s. Whats your point? People have preferences. I happen to think the new edge mustang is sexy af. Dosent mean i go hating on gm cars. Real car guys dont fan boy over a single maker.

Yeah right.. The last V6 got a surprise. When my 4.6 2V with 15lbs of boost. water\meth injection and dry oil system fucking passed his ass! As it make 750HP and insane torque... Running 3.83 ratio. As the salvage yards give away them 4 bolt mains and caps for cheap. It's like stealing candy form a baby. As all that extra savings goes into go fast goodies. As I'm a cheap ass. But 45 years of building engines. You learn where to spend it!

3 name changes allowed every 90 days. Your being a hater bro..

They are fun cars. They sound really good too. Don't listen to the 2V haters.

Can I have it?

not when they are compared to the ls1/6 cars of the same era. Yes the 4.6 is decent, but my ls1 put 323/346 down completely stock besides a catback with 156k miles

FRAGGLEROCK terminator bub

Yeah u make hp, but can u put it down? That's why I only trust track numbers. I'm not even full bolt ons and my auto runs 13.8, no dyno tune and not launching.

The E Card Man With Vids well for one u have no idea what the fuck your taking about keep your day job at Burger King for one these motor on full bilt on can do exactly 330 wheel horse power I now cuz that's were I'm at an 2 these motor handle alot more then u think on a stock block so before u run your mouth about the ls1 beaing better do your research yes the ls1 can hand more power but for that u need to build it to handle the epower in this case u don't have to do that with the 4.6 unless u u wanna be at 800plus horse power

Well, the LT1 cars back in 1993 (I had one of those too) would smack the car in this video around. Everybody knows the GTs were never speed freaks. But.... that's why we have Cobras, Mach 1s, and Terminators. I also have a Mach 1 running the stock tune that has no problems whatsoever with LS1 cars. So dollar for dollar, it's all relative. I just wanted to show in this video that a GT can pick up power from bolt ons...despite people saying that bolt ons are a waste of time.

What year is your Marquis..that’s a decent number

Allan Nichols Great points! Agree 100%

Although these engines are fairly bulletproof, the reason they get so much flak is because of their heads. This isn't limited to just the 2v either. The 3 valve 4.6l in the 04 - 09 Mustangs and the 5.4 Triton in the 04 - 10 F150's also have pretty anemic heads. They don't flow as great a say a comparable ls1 or ls3 head stock for stock. Another issue is that at the time, there was simply no aftermarket head available. Sure you could have some made but they would have been extremely expensive and time consuming. Now Trick Flow makes a 2v head called the Twisted Wedge which is made specifically for 2v 4.6's from 1992 to 2004 and for the 5.4 Tritons up to 2014. They say they flow really well but I'm not really an expert on them. The caveat is that they are pretty expensive. The full top end kit (i.e. heads, valve train, gaskets, cams, gears, timing chain) depending on website goes anywhere from $2900 to $3599 shipped to your door. And depending on what supporting mods you have, you may make around 350whp to around 400whp. Most builders will basically upgrade the bottom end and this point and that too can be quite expensive. I've seen full bottom end forged kits go for like $1600 and if you really want to make peak N/A power a stroker kit is where its at. Again a bit expensive at around $2000. At this point you start to realize why some people choose to go the LS and LQ route. Parts are way less expensive and you much more available. Still there are quite a few 2v stangs kicking ass out there.

Very good points. I had a 1998 C5 Corvette LS1 350ci making 350 hp stock but look at the price of that Vette new ($45k) vs the Mustang GT new ($24k or so). It's really an apples and oranges comparison. Now look at the $40-$50k Mustangs and what they put out stock.

Uh no, the pushrod 5 Liter had torque basically off of idle. The 4.6 makes everything higher up but a stock 4.6 cannot beat a stock 5 Liter, it just doesn't have the low & mid torque.

@MR PUNCHOUT Do you have 4:10 gears?

@@WinkNWhaa No 3.73's.

@@KDBSPORTS_ENT I hear a lot of people say 3:73's is a good overall gear. I have 3:27's and they're perfect for my setup.

@@WinkNWhaa what's your set up?

@@KDBSPORTS_ENT I have a L99 with DOD delete, BTR stage 2 cam, 3 inch X-pipe, K@N drop-in filter and a Pat G. tune. You can punch in 2014 Camaro SS BTR stage 2 cam if you want to listen to it.

What's your choice of intake manifold?

I eat up LS1 and LT1 Gen 3 camaro and Trans ams quite often.

Lt1 hey 260 horse my cousin got a 96 SS impala It had 210 horse with a Dino

What do you have done to it? I have an 01 Cobra that I want to get on the dyno.

@@andye5573 BBK cold air intake Mac prochamber Wicked flow exhaust weight reduction from the trunk I have some Ford Motorsport headers I need to install still with just those mods it runs 13.4 I'm hoping after a Dyno tune and a torque converter I should be deep into the 12s I know the Mach ones are pretty much like a cobra without the supercharger Mach ones make similar horsepower to 01 cobras in most of the parts are interchangeable

@@nathanlopez5667 Nice! I considered a Mach 1 before I bought my Cobra and test drove a few. I drove one with 4.10s and it pulled pretty good. Definitely a fun car.

@@andye5573 traded my WS6 Trans Am for the Mach 1 straight across it's noticeably faster then the LS1 Trans Am

I was thinking about getting 410 gears after the torque converter and tune but I don't know if that would be good for top-end

He does great work and I hope to get a new GT one day and take it to him.

Especially with bolt ons and gears, I can do a burnout at only 2k rpm! :)

Autos are usually faster the more gain on a auto comes from precise shifts manuals have human error

I have. He couldn’t pull away. Lol guy was pissed.

Car had roughly 120,000 when on the dyno. It was rock solid dependable. I love the 2V motors. If you take care of them they're bulletproof. I sold it last summer and now I have a 4V Mach 1 that I'm working on slowly.

Maybe you can do that with 4.10s and wider tires.

Should do that with bolt ons

because i’m going to dyno mine soon and idk if they’ll b able to do it ?

@@thatonev3697 yea they can do it autos get dynoed all the time the main thing is holding it at certain rpms

@@gsc2866 if you have been in one then that would not ne your reply 1-2-D no 3rd no way to put in just 4th or 3rd

It's to reduce stress on the engine it's self. Less weight to sling, reducing rotational mass etc. It's not a waste of time because it helps the engine run more efficient as well as helping with RPM's. Just the same as a aluminum drive shaft. And that as a "bolt-on" part helps unleash more potential. If you don't know that.. you should do some research.

@@Floresbrandon95 iv been building cars since the 90s if you honestly think pulleys do anything iv got some muffler bearings I sell to ya real cheap. Fucking moron.

They are good for about 5-10whp dynos prove it. You probably wouldn’t feel it though

@@TurboTurdBurglar bullshit bullshit bullshit. Find me one video that proves this. They give you 0 horsepower you fucking moron 0. Bet you think an air filter will give you 25 hp gains. Just because a company claims hp gains doesn't mean it's TRUE.

@@springwoodslasher79 its been estimated to allow for 1.8 hp but the time of day has a bigger effect than that so lol pulleys are best for reducing belt slippage issues if you have a solid fan

WADE BUGAREWICZ in the description

What year??

I don't know for sure. I don't think it would rob power. Looking back on it now I wish I had tuned the car on 93 octane. There's only a few dollars difference between a fillup on 91 and 93. It was stupid for me to run mid-grade on this car.

Yes. Unless you have lots of wheel spin then shift sooner in that gear.

@@aktionp20 ok

@@aktionp20 I'm gonna do the exact same bolt ons to my 06 P71...I should see the same results

Crank. He was getting 260 rear wheel hp. Meaning he had maybe 300 hp crank. Impressive gains for cheap mods.

So exhaust is a waste? What about a short throw shifter?

@@andye5573 makes it sound better. I got the catless h pipe ane 40 series flowmasters..... Felt no different

@@dannynewedge02gt81 I guarantee it made more power over the stock exhaust. You're not going to notice a huge difference but it's far from a waste.

@@andye5573 $1000 + and it might have got 10 hp. Also the short shifter is very nice, i got the cheap sr one but its still nice

battfieldsniper1 Yeah engine swap a cobra motor into one of these and then see what happens.

NG Shenanigans why not put the 500 dollars into the motor and then compare only spent 500 dollars on it.

$500 in a v8 goes a long way, Also, your little b16 made 178hp and walekd off on a v8? LMAO They must not have known you were racing, or you did the whole "ricer flyby' thing. Cause even the v6 mustangs of this era made 205hp, which would walk off on your little rice burner.

RizoProduction also a 750 lbs difference full tanks and interior it was half a second quicker. And neither car spun

A d16 to b16 swap is way more then $500 bucks. Way more.
