Andrew V I would have agreed a year or two ago. But PBD has done so much testing and development in areas nobody else has done. I was talking to a Ford Performance engineer at their Ford display and he actually mentioned Palm Beach Dyno by name. We were talking about upper limits of engine designs. Lol.
Enjoying the video when at 8:51 my windows started rattling big time, damn that digs deep! Congrats on making more power, I wish I had a GT500 to do this to!
Ken, did you ever to do testing or do a video with this lid on a more conservative or near stock w/ tune car like you mentioned in this video towards the end? Looked but didn't see another video about that.
Assuming this lid is 6061-t6, you could potentially save more weight going with 7075-t6 and thinning bthe walls (yield strength 40 ksi vs 73 ksi). Would also give you a smidge more room for air. Trade-off is cost of course. Love the design.
And other win for you and the teams at the power by the hour. If I was in a market for a 2020 Shelby GT-500 , go with that new plenum, your Trottle-body, X-plpe ,cold-air system..Congratulations again on the new hp.
You would be wrong. this is a flow mod, you aren't going to gain anything down low so no reason to show it. There is no science that supports your theory. If we were messing with runner length, then yes.
My 15 hellcat easily made 950whp and 920 torque on the hub Dyno with jokers ported blower 2.85 upper and 10% lower and 108 throttle body. That's things bad but Seems like the mustangs don't make a ton of torque for some reason
I'll be honest, I was extremely doubtful that a redesigned lid would be this beneficial as in the GM world, modified lids aren't that big of an improvement, if any
Lol ford can't get both tires to spin. Come on its 2020. Let's put 1000 hp to one tire and show how much progress we haven't made. lmao ford guys are funny.
@@jakesreef1730 lmao be proud of their one wheel disaster but hating on c8 tranny isn't helping the argument. The 2 aren't even in the same category. U ford people think u want to play with vettes until u lookin at those taillights lmao. Ford is comparable to Corvette just because they added some power lol with a twin turbo v6 they are still not ready the gearbox and transmission are still their downfall and has been for a long time. Even with higher hp they are still behind. But I understand u like slow sports cars u deserve a ford bro🤣😭😁500 hp c8 stock dominating not because of high hp output
Do your homework . I'm not a ford guy. I still do my homework on them and all the ones who want to compete. I'm not a chevy guy so much as I want what gets the job done guy . And right now the c8 is hands down the best bang for your buck and has been since the c5 z06.
Man Ken you and the guys at PBD are really pushing the gt500 technology congrats 👏

@@todd5082 that's awesome 😁
I hope to own a GT500 one day, That Dyno run makes me smile!
The 2020 gt500 is amazing what car out there makes these gains with only bolt ons its crazy this car is making 1200hp at the crank 760hp to 1200 nuts
Can't imagine how loud that garage is during test...sounds insane. Nice video
Outstanding. Can really appreciate the back to back setup runs. Also doing this on different setups that are less intensive in the future. Mad props 👍

The lid looks great I would prefer it to have a matte finish like the original one but other than that it's great

Just received ours today, man its a work of art.
Love it you guys should design a car from the ground up. Its impressive to see the things you guys do that change the HP like that.
Late Model Throttle FTW.. Jeff Smith does really good CNC work !
Thanks for sharing the data and analysis, looks like a great part for the GT500.
Looking forward to the test on the stock setup. Might be one of my first mods after the CAI of course.

Nice gains now send this back home and we will get you a time slip to brag about . Jeff cut me one .
Impressive 👍 can't wait to start upgrading my GT500
You got nice channel
@@AC-kp8sp Thank you 👍
So awesome, glad it worked out
Nice small TQ bump too. Great job
Awesome job SR.
nice work Ken!
SO SICK
I didn't expect that huge gain with just a blower lid swap, that is incredible.
I add that to my mod to do list.
Thanks for the video!
What fuel are you running on the car?
Does the shock tower brace fit with billett lid?
Where can I order a green serpentine belt
We have them on our site. www.pbdyno.com/Belts_c_499.html Not all sizes are there but we are adding them.
Nice job !!
Any idea of the cost for the consumer? Rough ballpark?
Thanks
A lot... it’s a full billet piece. I wouldn’t expect anything under $1000
@@ElijahWash easily 2000
$1599 intro price. Comes anodized with the factory snake plate
Killer job
Strut tower brace use to be at least 5hp
Youre out of youre mind thats to protect the engine from getting stolen....
I’m impressed
with that small height increase, there's still clearance for the strut brace yes...? edit: looks good, love engine jewelry.
Yes it does
@@PalmBeachDyno 👍
Good upper RPM gains but I am betting the lower RPM performance is below hat of the stock blower. that's why you didn't show it.

Any new technology for 07 -14 Shelby gt 500
Vmp blowers
Good info!
That's awesome!
Nice!
That's badass
Awesome. You should sell these like fucking hot cakes.

Smaller engine. 5.2 vs 6.2
Overhead cam and more of a squared setup of bore and stroke. Needs rpm’s.

Lol . This ain't no GM .
Lol.. add more power to a new C8 Corvette and your motor will end up blowing.. anything over 550 horsepower and them motors say bye-bye.
@@RollingAintEasy247 lol..
@@RollingAintEasy247 You have not been paying attention
Ken, how can this stock engine handle all this power? Thats gotta be 1150hp at the crank..
Ford definitely built it strong
Time will tell
Rey Perez yes time is the key but so far i have not seen any reports of this motor failing..
Ford power....💪🇺🇸👍♥️
black with a red 🐍
I'll bet its going to be an expensive 3-4% hp modification
Decent price for 30 or so hp. Headers result in roughly that increase and about the same price. This is easier to install for sure.
I like the turbo cars better
please put some black stickers over the UGLY headlight reflector god i hate ford for not using the 18+ headlights in these cars.
