Dyno Test: 2024 Mustang Dark Horse | Why Ford Used a Dual-Throttle Intake & What's the Real Power? 

Nice gains. Can't wait to see some 1/4 mile runs!

$79,000 at my local dealer…a goddamn joke

Nice video with good baseline dyno run and quick, cheap easy mods showing the gains!

Very cool thanks for sharing

No clue what they changed, but the stock exhaust sounds to be the best I’ve heard so far on a coyote… 👍

Nice tests. Thanks!

Free gains are always awesome. Great video, guys.

Exciting stuff!! Can't wait to see what it does on the track

Excellent video thank you.

Thanks for the good explanation on the dual throttle body carbon traps etc can you send a link of the filters that you guys order and where can I get some also thank you

Thanks for sharing guys.

love this video, so much great information.

So taking carbon traps out and putting high flow air filter on it finally matches Mach 1 WHP at 450. Not bad, still slower with the extra weight.

Thanks for doing this videio. Can you add a link to the filters you used?

Love it guys!!! Dark horse fighter!!!

EXCELLENT!!! Content!!! Guys!!!

Good stuff fellas

Can you please share with us the exact part number for the K&N filters?

Project crazy horse There should be no other name love the content man

Good video!

Awesome Sam is the man!

GOOD KNOWLEDGE JUST LIKED & SUBSCRIBED

Project Ember Heard!

500 x .88 = 440. So 12% drivetrain loss it’s right on advertised fwhp.

Great video!! Impressive gains for anyone to do at home. I was hoping that there would be another pull with the air box lids removed, I've seen a couple of videos with gains. Otherwise thanks for the great content Evan!

Great video. I go back and forth on liking this car, but I do love the engine and drivetrain. Encouraging results.

Great video REVan..Ford to the front 100%

I'm impressed on the gains with so little effort. I can't wait to see full builds.

Years ago when putting a square K&N in a 92' LX 5.0 I had , it started with wrestling an enormous piece of plastic out of the front passenger side fender. 🥵 😄...A Dyno on the new RTR would be cool to see as well...FORD💪💯

Well I’m sold (already was). Definitely want the dark horse

Can’t believe Sam bought a blue car. Looks beautiful buddy.

I pulled my carb out of my 22 Mach 1 hp and notice a difference in acceleration.

The new GR86/BRZ have a carbon panel filter in the airbox as well. If you remove it, you gain approx. 10whp.

Project Blue Thunder

I had a Nissan 370Z which had dual throttle bodies. It's very good for twin turbos.

Project Blue BALLZ!!! - THX for the content!

EVAN, THE TUBE THAT WENT THROUGH THE TUNNEL PORT MOTORS INTAKE RUNNER THAT HOUSED THE PUSHROD. WHEN THEY DID A FLOW TEST ON THEIR HEAD IT WAS NEGLIGIBLE. WITH IT AND WITHOUT IT THE FLOW NUMBERS WERE THE SAME.

Best explanation as to the two throttle bodies to date. 👌🏼

Do you guys have the part # for the k&n filters on these? They aren’t on K&N site yet

That is one gnarly horse! ❤️‍🔥 Name ideas! Cindercorn Cimmerian Cerulusian The Mistral Stallion Tizerus Gulltoppr Frightmare

Project Dark Ember!!!

Project Blue Magic 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Got me excited! Don’t joke around about adding boost man!! 😂 what a beautiful car. Looking forward to this build.

Whipple has the key to the ECU since they are teamed up with Ford and their superchargers. Everyone else, nope.

I wonder if someone made a Bigger diameter carbon filter area, potentially allowing more air flow before the MAF, if that would equal removing the carbon trap HP loss. Space appears to be a restricting factor there. Some say that the HP gain with K&N style filters disappears as the computer 'learns' the air flow difference. Any thoughts on that?

My fox could only dream of this kind of power from the factory. Still fun to drive though and it still looks pretty and that makes me happy. And yes, it is a V8 with a manual transmission.

Good stuff. Sub'd.

Do you have a part number for the air filters?

Will it void the warranty?

When you remove the carbon traps.... does it throw any codes on map sensors or anything else?

Did your dyno guy skateboard back in the 80s? That Coastal Dyno logo looks a whole lot like the old Santa Cruz skateboards logo! 💯

Could you please, please run a dyno with 87 octane and then 93 to see if there is actually a huge difference. super curious I'm sure a bunch of other mustang owners are. there aren't any good videos on this.

Outstanding video, as always with Evan. Read every issue of MM&FF back in the day, while piloting my 84 Mustang GT

Is adaptive octane logic enabled thats main thing i want to know....

Thanks for doing a good, through "magazine style", in-depth video. Nice to see the progression and incremental HP and Tq improvements. Good stuff!

How did you get the dyno control on the laptop. I wanna do that with our shop dyno

Can we just end ..that you get an awesome 5.0 engine ..two throttle bodies. 440 hp. Is great. To hit that 500 + bigger injectors Headers.. straight pipe. Ecu tune maybe 640 Hp.. they gave you a scat pack killer. Out the box.

I just subscribed ❤

What kind of filter are those ?? Brand and part # ??

Ford released the encryption to the ECU/ ECM to Whipple, RTR & Ford Racing. It will take about 6 months to get the solution to the tuners. Be patient!!!

Very interesting. A simple and practical way to get some extra HP. If you gonna take it to the dragstrip, it would be an ideal ocassion for some racing against previous models, since everybody is arguing if the car is faster or slower... The Dark Horse has divided Mustang enthusiasts' opinions as few other models. I can't imagine a cool name.. Since its a kind of successor of the Terminator, should be called Judgement Day...

My 15 428/402...18 mani pmas cai bbk LTH...cat delete...no dyno tune yet...just tune for 18 mani w/lockouts n cat tune..5th gear pull

Do the different exhaust settings effect hp?

What do ppl tune the gt500 redline to? Higher than 7500??

Thanks for showing the stats. I just got my 2024 gt convertible and will be following to get ideas.

Just a quick question, is it normal to put a car on a dyno before it goes through the break in period?

Nice to see a 6 speed. I love stangs.

Does it or will it make a difference with removing the air box lids with the filter exhange?

What fuel would you recommend running this car daily. Like would 93 help the longevity of the car or is 87 just fine

The filter part number is RU-1037

It’s a slightly revamped s550. What did people expect. S197 is the best coyote platform, imo. I run a gen 3 short block and a whipple on e85 in my 13 🤙🏼 Hey even, thanks for your contributions and passion in the mustang world. I’m an OG foxbody guy like you.

I don't think many are complaining about power, they are complaining about E/T and trap speed which is what matters. I could care less if it dynoed at 1000rwhp if it's slow compared to previous gen. 2018 was trapping at 119-120mph. 3 or 4mph faster

Will make more one you break it in

Great power gains with minimal mods.

What do these weigh now?

Is it worth buying over the 2024 mustang gt ?

What filter did you purchase? Id love to throw some in my Dark Horse but don't know what to get

I am going to get one of these Dark Horses in the near future...can you work that engine for me?

Twin TB: Logic makes sense, but they could have did the old 96+ Cobra twin TBs setup with a single lever (53mm x 2) and one giant inlet w/carbon trap. It would have been simpler, more reliable and easier to modify. Instead they went with dual intake tracks which is the most complicated option and hardest to modify.

Part of me still wonders is if the did the dual intake setup for mostly unique + looks points. Or is there really a big advantage in the system. Like would the car make the same hp with a single intake?

Name her Feeling Blue !!

Thats great numbers for the new dark horse basically two very minor mods and hardly any miles on the motor. My Gen 3 hit 443 in 4th gear not 1:1 gear either with e85 tune, intake and catback. So definitely more stout then the gen3 but that should be expected.

Blue blood because it’s royalty

Can't wait to see these slapped on a Gen 1

They probably had more emissions designing and building those traps than what they will ever save

Project Mystique (like X-men. She's blue). Has a good ring to it.

Call it Ford Project - True Blue Oval, paying respect to Ford's racing history. True Blue Oval sings the history of Fords putting power to the ground on race tracks. If you use this name can I get an autographed photo of this particular Dark Horse, and then I will mail back an autographed copy of my book that reverse engineered all the physics involved in physical on-ground dowsing with the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which is the same physics used in electronic metal detecting. The book's name is The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition. Thank you Evan for all the information and entertainment with this channel. I am looking forward to another (stand alone) Fast Fords .... type magazine. How come Ford itself did not buy and take over the magazine, which was one of Ford's best advertising tools with very little expense to Ford (supplying free parts) ? All Ford fans had to pay the price of Tens Publishing's other nine bankrupt magazines, such as Super Chevy. I like Chevy power too, mostly in the muscle car era, but from the 1980's on, I am all Ford,. At twelve years old (late 1960's), I had a 1953 Ford F100 with a 292 C.I. and a manual car three speed with driving it everywhere as though I actually had a drivers license, (even drove it to jobs I had). 300lbs on rocks stacked against the tailgate gave traction for driving on all the 4x4 jeep tails, where we would see friends in their 4x4's asking "how the hell did you get that two wheel drive truck in here" ? The only answer to that question is you have to know what you're doing with a 4x4 and you have to be a little crazy. Can't wait for income coming in from our book sales and advertisement money from our new RU-vid channel, "Tracy and Michael's Dowsing Adventure", with buying a new Raptor R and 2020 - 2022 Shelby GT 500 for modifications by Hennesey Peformance. The future may hold an REVan Evan RU-vid video on the vehicles, because you are one of the few whom I would trust for accurate representation of all aspects of the vehicles. P.S. I like Shelby's Las Vegas performance modification shop too.

Project Blue Cheese

What’s the part number on the filters?

The blue unic.

Great video guys for sure. If it had a little more octane to go in hand with the additional airflow and leave the filters exposed on the dyno it would probably make 460-465 that’s incredible there’s plenty you can do on the stock tune free flowing exhaust, Porting etc..

Interesting car. Curious, how did Ford get the extra power over the standard GT? Does the computer get data from both intake tracks, or just 1 side? Itake it the carbon traps aren't replaceable? Great videos!

Any chance you have already done some stock 1/4 mile runs? While you don't always set a record you're well known for running amazing times and I would love to see what this can do.

i wonder what it would pick up with e-85, less restrictive exhaust and an actual tune.

Blew by you !

Anyone know what aftermarket corn filters are those, I want to get em for my gt.

What does taking these carbon traps out do to the warranty?

Mod nationals is when and where?

Hey what air filter did y’all use
