Needs new fuel pressure regulators divertor valves and then if it's an X50 it'll be fine...

 

RS6 is awd too, and fatter, and Audis are almost always overrated for their hp, even modded. GT500 power numbers are legit.

 

I know how you feel. I live in the Detroit area and there is a lot of American Muscle around here with some serious HP. You never know what people have under the hood. Lots of "sleepers" out there.

 

the injectors, and race fuel, pass on just doing FPR only.

At 1.1 bar on CA 91 octane I'm in the 500 whp range. Not sure having an X50 really makes any difference, I assume slightly better IC's, best to upgrade those anyway at the 600whp level.

 

My car stock with flash kept up with a stock 2011 GT500. I've gone billet K16's and a host of supporting mods to make sure that even if he gets his pulley upgrades, I'll still be able to take him on head to head.

 

 

I raced a nearby GT500 in the 1/4. With slicks (almost stock otherwise) ran a 11.7 (or something like that - very fast).

He has since upgraded a little, and is now running low 11's (I haven't checked in for a while, so he may be even faster).

There is no way a 996tt can run that stock.

 

Ford has really stepped up their game as of late, the 5.0's make some ridiculous power. I used to toy with them in my stage 3 m3, they're pretty nasty.

 

The newer GT500s don't need much for that power. That was most likely a pulley swap, intake, exhaust, tune. They can swap blowers and make 700-800 with ease.

 

The GT500 is not a 5.0, but a supercharged 5.4L. Pretty fast.

 

18gs, injectors, decent exhaust, maybe ICs.... good tune... maybe with a EBC and your ready to rock n roll...

 

Markski, you said you were visiting Poland in another thread - when, where? Would be great to meet you!

 

plans changed.. now its Germany and London.... waiting for some dates planned... there is a decently fast 996 in Gdynia I know... k24/26 with 5 bar, exhaust... we are going to do the injectors and tune soon...
