It drives me nuts to see all these comments saying that this power figure is weak. Everyone is so desensitized to horsepower numbers and ratings in our modern age. Everyone thinks that 1000hp cars are commonplace and are the norm thanks to the over exposure we see of them online. The HP may not be a high number on these cars, but that's a healthy torque figure. HP is not always the be all end all figure in determining how fast a car is. Having driven my friends 2005 GT with an SCT tune and 4.10 gears as well as other mods, I can honestly say the car feels ridiculously fast, especially when you consider cheap you can pick one of these up. I never once felt like I was down on power. Love this build, guys. Thanks for bringing us another unique project.
We're feeling a bit disappointed too. These engines aren't the most efficient but we're working on opening them up and seeing how much power it can make.
For the people who say this car doesn't make much power, obviously watch too much 1320 racing videos with 2000hp Supras. Those same people couldn't even handle a 250hp mustang, and would most likely crash.
@Crazy Chris Worse than that, because some can afford a car payment they buy factory made hot rods and think they become performance authorities. Funny how 1/10th of a second on a 0-60 run can mean so much to these kids.
Glad you followed our discussion and put the airaid on there. If you haven't yet, I'd get the Steeda Race Charge motion control delete plates, a FRPP Throttle body and some FRPP cams. I think you'll like how that works.
it doesnt help that he hasnt got the slightest clue of how to work on a car. i cant believe anything he has runs. and the shotty workmanship on his "repairs" is insane.
lots of hate from people on the 3v for no reason, making power in N/A form is always expensive for everything except LS and 351W engines. i suggest you look into head porting work to compliment the new cams.
I know Canadian winters are cold and all, but Dave you need to get some sun, I thought you going for a Sin City vibe with this episode for a minute there.
I have a 2008 Mustang GT and had it Dyno Tuned. Wheel Values were: 270HP and 281 torque. Wheel Values...where it matters most. Crank Values were: 322HP at the crank and 335 torque. Specs: High performance Ford Intake manifold, shorty headers, 62mm throttle body, K&N cold air intake, SLP HF Cats, and X-pipe. I don't see how this '05 Mustang GT with the specs it has, got that many gains. Of course you "can" get the car to reach those levels, but it will essentially hurt the motor. The gentlemen that performed my tune was no amateur and very thorough. The car is performing well, burning out over 50ft...I would say she's performing quite well with the numbers mine acquired.
302hp at the wheels...thats roughly 345-355 at the crank assuming a 12-15% driveline loss. Actually a bit more because you have the 4:10 gears installed (they'll make the dyno read a bit lower because they will no longer be 1:1 with 4th gear) Not bad for a 12 year old car with 150k miles on it and a few bolt ons.
Stupid youtube. Haven't seen your videos pop up in my "recommended" section and totally forgot about you guys. I'll have to binge watch to catch up. Gotta support my fellow SW Ontarians!
Had some real good results with remote tuning with the Hondata flash pro....car made good power and was a flawless tune and was considerably less expensive than a dyno session
Dave had good results with a remote tune on his RX-8 too. If you have a well sorted and reliable engine package, there's really no reason why a skilled remote tuner can't calibrate your engine accurately and get solid results. It's just a tougher job when you're not doing it in person, since you don't get as much feedback (can't hear the engine, can't smell burning oil or burning coolant, etc).
Dave's actually used a remote tuner on his RX-8 with good success, and it has been around a long time and is getting much better overall as tuning software and remote accessibility technology improves. But there are things a tuner can hear and feel when tuning a car in person that they can't when tuning remotely, like knock or a misfire or the smell of burning coolant, so whenever possible we'll always opt for an in-person tuner. Definitely not aimed at B Is For Build...we enjoy his channel and respect his hard work, dedication, and honesty.
Speed Academy oh of course it is but you will be blown away by how much the cam and intake (maybe heads) will wake this engine up, with the right combo you should get close to 400 wheel with the other mods you have done already
Speed Academy i had a 2005 gt with nothing but an intake and tune and made a bit over 300rwhp, the 2006 I have now makes 300rwhp with shorty headers and an intake
I tune into your channel lots ,however as a Canadian I hate to say this BUT only a Canadian would spend so much for so little. In ontario it's easy to find a rotten out truck with a ls 6.0 in it for about the cost you have spent and then well it's a ls swap 600 hp easy. Anyway keep up the good work guys and the yota is what I want to see done,3v mudstain boring now.
Power is way up from what has been my experience. 3 valves don't usually do much with simple bolt ons. think the long tubes are paying dividends big time. CONGRATS!!??
Put Ford Racing (FR) 90 mm cold air kit, FR big throttle body, JBA shorty headers, FR x-pipe, FR mufflers, and custom dyno tune on my '05 GT and got . . . 301 RWHP.
ABOUT TIME! Also those are pretty sad numbers for how much you've put in... You should see how much hp/$ you get from an ls based car! Also... a base stock ls motors easily revs to 6.5k Cams and spring you can get to well into 7k if not low 8 ( depending on gen motor internals ) I used to have mod motors and a mod motor car But they SUCK
We'll definitely bump the rev limit up some when we swap cams and valvetrain, but there's no question this old 3v engine isn't as efficient or as powerful as a LS. But it is a dirt cheap motor that makes great noises and is starting to make enough power to put a smile on our faces.
Speed Academy at least you don't have a 2v shooting spark plugs to the moon But be careful about internals past the 400 horse point They like to start exiting the block at high speed
@Crediblesea 007 how can you compare a mustang to a vette?? Even if the power is equal or in the same ball park, those two cars were built completely different for different classes. Apples & oranges
With cams and charge motion delete plates or FRPP intake manifold you should be around 360 hp uncorrected wheel horsepower and 340 ish corrected... are these numbers SAE corrected or uncorrected and what was the altitude, temp and DA?
Hello sir. Is this car automatic or manual? I'm swapping my t3650 for a 5r55s, due to being a daily driver. City driving everyday can be very annoying when having a manual transmission. I'm really hoping to make 305 to 310 to the wheels. Parts list: long tube headers, o/r hpipe, under drive pulleys, imrc delete kit, 62mm throttle body, cai, accel coil packs and 255lph fuel pump.. hopefully that will get me where I want to be until I can afford a d.o.b intake kit.
If we get a good snowfall before spring we might just taker for a rip at Toronto Motorsports Park since they often have winter lapping days and it is a ton of fun.
David Pratte if the compression is still nice, you should really look into head work.. port and polish, Upgrade the complete valve train, and some aggressive cams.. you'll feel a night and day difference! But it can cost a lot of money unless you buy the parts and do the work yourself
. . . and considered cams when they came out but that would involve lowering the diff ratio and another custom tune for higher rpm. passed on all that.
Watch out everybody. This monster V8 is up to an earth shattering 300hp. They could show the top fuel guys a thing or two. Sorry guys I'm still bitter :/ Love your channel. The goals you laid out in the first mullet mustang vid compared to what you have actually done just really let me down. I know I'm impatient and you'l get there someday. Something about tuner style builders focusing on a muscle car making power just seems very different and interesting to me and I've never seen anybody else come from that angle before. Here is a quote from the first video in the series: "We need to put some drag radials on this thing." "Yeah we do." "We will go faster." "Do we have a goal in mind for drag racing?" "I would like to see a 12 second pass eventually in this thing with power adders." "Lets put it out there we're going to go 12s before we start working on lap times." "Alright... that sounds like a challenge to me." I do love how all you did was throw in a set of coilovers to have it out handle your BRZ on the track. Now imagine if it had a ton of power on tap too. It would be an all around great car for all sorts of track events. From auto cross to circuit racing to straight line. It could do it all. I mean come on a modern V8 motor making 300hp... there were honda civics in the 90's that made more power per cylinder than that. Now you're saying maybe a cam in the future. Not even a procharger? Come on get with the mullet style here. I want the long haired wigs back and the accents. If you guys aren't making 400 wheel by the next vid I'm unsubscribing and calling my representative to complain.
Modern engine lol, mod motors are not modern by any means other than cam in head. Don't blame Speed academy for what the manufacturer didn't do. They did start showing that build in the fall and you can't really do much in a non heated garage in winter in canada. plus it's not like they're gonna be be throwing a ton of cash at the thing. I'd rather see 350whp na motor than 600whp on a budget that won't handle for crap. Guys, keep doing what you're doing, us low budget guys love it and like to see the harship you have to go through most of the time instead of other shows that only show the good, easy stuff and big numbers.
MrBenstero - Yeah you're right but what I meant was that it's modern in the way that the mustang is a modern car and that engine is still being used on the road every day by many people. So in that way it's modern. I mean the 4L80E transmission is still being put into brand new vehicles and it is just a modified version of a transmission that has existed since the 60's. So what really counts as "new" then you know?
i am actually sad and dissappointed ... a 4.6 V8 makong such little power.. i thought mustangs made atleast 350 ho stock... which is still not a lot.. but those numbers are a joke..
Don't confuse wheel horsepower on the dyno with advertised brake horsepower or crank horsepower. This engine has a factory bhp rating of 305, but on a dyno they typically make about 250-whp stock. It's definitely not a volumetric efficiency champ the way Honda engines like the B18C and K20 are, but it does make up for it with lots of torque. With some upgraded cams, which we'll be installing soon, we should really wake the top end up.
Speed Academy first of all thanks alot fr replying and clearing everything... i love your videos.. the one with sasha's NA 350z was my fav as i drive a Z myself.. i hope you guys do another piece on that car.. keep up the good work!!

Cams, intake, and throttle body should really wake this 3v up!
Great video. I love the fact that you dyno’d after each mod to show individual gains. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Glad you followed our discussion and put the airaid on there. If you haven't yet, I'd get the Steeda Race Charge motion control delete plates, a FRPP Throttle body and some FRPP cams. I think you'll like how that works.
Can't wait for cams! I hope they are super aggressive! Like hardly being able to idle aggressive.
They're aggressive enough to require upgraded valve springs :D
Speed Academy yesssssss
Remote tuning is working like a charm for B is for Build though.... /s
Sean Donaldson - He also has no clue what he's doing.
That's the charm of the channel. He makes mistakes, owns them, learns how to do it right. Right or wrong he's going for it and I respect that a lot.
have you seen an episode i havent? cuz its going to hell afaik :D
weeeel i just saw the end of this vid heh
it doesnt help that he hasnt got the slightest clue of how to work on a car. i cant believe anything he has runs. and the shotty workmanship on his "repairs" is insane.
Put a crowd of people in front of the car when it's on the dyno next time and see what kind of hp it makes.
ha ha ha... I literally spit out my pizza...
you'll see 500whp, I guarantee it
Oh look, another Mustang crowd joke. Weak sauce.
Unlimited power
lots of hate from people on the 3v for no reason, making power in N/A form is always expensive for everything except LS and 351W engines. i suggest you look into head porting work to compliment the new cams.
No burnout at the end jeeeeezzzz. Thanks for the videos my kids love them. Thanks again.
We do need more burnouts in our vids!
The Last part was for b is for build for Sure
Wish more people would watch this !

GT500 throttle body, cams, ported heads, under drive pulleys, FPR intake. Then it would be one fast N/A 3V.
Dont forgot about a 1 piece aluminum drive shaft and gutted interior
yeah 7,000 dollars later you have a rickety bucket of bolts thats slower than a stock coyote
@@michaelnone6322 Facts 😂

That final part was a message for B is for Build... the remote tuner thing! :D
LOL I didn't even know he was using e-tuning.
I've got the same thing for my Focus ST from a company called Dreamscience in the UK, great to swap maps as your car becomes more modified

Clean-ish. Still lots to do there lol.
you should give B is for Build some pointers.

That Yeeee Haaaa in the intro is so Dave's voice

Love the mustang build! Automatic thumps up from me every time.
Thanks!
Thanks guys.Great video.It is nice to see if the parts are worth the cash.
I loved this build series so much, but I can’t stress this enough. Those touring mufflers sound like complete and total ass.
Get a cam and intake manifold on it and make some BIG gains
50whp isnt big gains on NA?! But yes, we've got plans for cams then possibly a manifold.
Speed Academy oh of course it is but you will be blown away by how much the cam and intake (maybe heads) will wake this engine up, with the right combo you should get close to 400 wheel with the other mods you have done already

I don't know how I found this channel but let me just click that subscirbe.
Nice moisturized hands dp. They look pretty shiny holding that tuner.

forgot that little restrictive unit that will only get more restrictivr with cams later on
CAM IT! , we wanna see cams playin..
How about the most important number ?
What's the bodycount of this Mustang ?
xP
Nice guys. keep it up
I do want to see more videos...must watch more videos...🤤
50 hp for intake exhaust and tune sounds about right
Y'all should do a bigger throttle body with those cams as well. And if at all possible (because cams take a while haha), dyno test them separately.
We've been doing research on a throttle body and havent seen big gains on them so not sure if we'll spend the big bucks to get one.
I gotcha. I was just wondering. I mean, they are a bit expensive, so I don't blame y'all at all. Lol
time for twin turbo, or ProCharger
Curious, what type of dyno was this. Im trying to get a ballpark of what it makes on a mustang dyno (aka the heart breaker)
TommyFyeah, are you with us? :P
ITB's!!
Fancy!
ABOUT TIME!
Also those are pretty sad numbers for how much you've put in...
You should see how much hp/$ you get from an ls based car!
Also... a base stock ls motors easily revs to 6.5k
Cams and spring you can get to well into 7k if not low 8 ( depending on gen motor internals )
I used to have mod motors and a mod motor car
But they SUCK
We'll definitely bump the rev limit up some when we swap cams and valvetrain, but there's no question this old 3v engine isn't as efficient or as powerful as a LS. But it is a dirt cheap motor that makes great noises and is starting to make enough power to put a smile on our faces.
Speed Academy at least you don't have a 2v shooting spark plugs to the moon
But be careful about internals past the 400 horse point
They like to start exiting the block at high speed
Hah, we'll be careful!
Speed Academy a lot depends on how good your tune is but mod motors aren't great internals wise
My old stock 2000 Camaro SS put down 310 rwhp
Chris Cahill and its over a liter bigger
Dirt4k xD
sorry, not true
I used to own a z28.. bolt's on and cam *390rwhp*
310rwhp stock is impossible,
the stock crank hp is 340 so.... :)
This guy is bragging about a car that has a way bigger motor making more power. How typical of a Chevy owner
@Crediblesea 007 how can you compare a mustang to a vette?? Even if the power is equal or in the same ball park, those two cars were built completely different for different classes. Apples & oranges
With cams and charge motion delete plates or FRPP intake manifold you should be around 360 hp uncorrected wheel horsepower and 340 ish corrected... are these numbers SAE corrected or uncorrected and what was the altitude, temp and DA?
Nice. Very nice.
How do you turn off the o2’s I have a catless exhaust and this exact handheld and I can’t find where to turn the o2’s off
Hello sir. Is this car automatic or manual? I'm swapping my t3650 for a 5r55s, due to being a daily driver. City driving everyday can be very annoying when having a manual transmission.

Any idea what a 07 GT with Saleen supercharger horsepower to the wheels would be?
ok, who links this to @BisForBuild ? he needs to hear some stuff (MAF) from guys that know (aka you guys) =)
Pete already e-mailed him about the MAF issue. We enjoy his channel and want to see him make some power!
sasha i have the same coffee mug. Cool
so doesnt make much difference getting an Airaid and should i keep my K&N?
maybe ported and polished heads after the cams? haha
I see snow tires, is there gonna be an ice racing episode?
If we get a good snowfall before spring we might just taker for a rip at Toronto Motorsports Park since they often have winter lapping days and it is a ton of fun.
I've always wanted to try that! I only live about a half hour away!
5* of timing is a huge amount of timing...

FRPP intake + CC 127500's? :D
Any plans to stick a blower on top of it someday, or are you going to keep it N/A?
We have been talking with Edelbrock...
What with the gains with the comp cams?
You guys are use to gaining 5hp at a time from 4cyl engines?.. was that all the AP was gaining at a time :(
Hah, ya pretty much. That car needs a s/c or turbo more than the Mustang does.
David Pratte if the compression is still nice, you should really look into head work.. port and polish, Upgrade the complete valve train, and some aggressive cams.. you'll feel a night and day difference! But it can cost a lot of money unless you buy the parts and do the work yourself
My mk7 GTI puts down about the same numbers
katanamast279 - It's still a VW so there's that.
katanamast279 not allmotor that's for sure.
You guys are hilarious
Just curious, how much gas did you burn in your dyno session?
Not really sure, maybe a 1/4 tank. We didn't do a ton of pulls and each pull is only maybe 10 seconds long, so it's not really a fuel heavy process.
Dave!! Didn't MazdaManiac do an awesome job on your RX8 remote tune on GoogleTalk?
Yup, he sure did! Jeff's a great guy and the Renesis ran strong on his tune.
Please!! More rotary videos, especially on that RX8
Wish I still had the RX-8, but I sold it to a friend a few years ago. But we do have more rotary content coming soon on Ken's FD.
Hi Dave, u have replied to me before on another video. I thought u said your friend was going FI and u would/might be doing a future video on it?
Ya, he's been building a 13B-REW for it but he found a mint condition very low mileage FD RX-7 that he bought so he's now looking to sell the RX-8.
30 hp from long tube header and no cat? BS. To get 30 more hp. You have to change the cam.
Hats and hoodies in my size are sold out :(
More coming and in stock in a week or so!!
. . . and considered cams when they came out but that would involve lowering the diff ratio and another custom tune for higher rpm. passed on all that.

That sure seems like a low gain from the longtubes. I was told my 6 will gain 30℅!
i think we can say that this car needs a supercharger
We've been contemplating it.
Dave, it only goes to 6000 because it starts at 1500.
Ha! That's actually a great point. It does have a very broad powerband when you consider how early the torque kicks in.
290 to 300 hp for a v8 is pretty sad, the stock 4.2l il6 in my trail blazer made 295 stock its about 270 now
charles Hey dummy that's to the wheels your shitty blazer didn't make 295 to the wheels ever
i am actually sad and dissappointed ... a 4.6 V8 makong such little power.. i thought mustangs made atleast 350 ho stock... which is still not a lot.. but those numbers are a joke..
Don't confuse wheel horsepower on the dyno with advertised brake horsepower or crank horsepower. This engine has a factory bhp rating of 305, but on a dyno they typically make about 250-whp stock. It's definitely not a volumetric efficiency champ the way Honda engines like the B18C and K20 are, but it does make up for it with lots of torque. With some upgraded cams, which we'll be installing soon, we should really wake the top end up.
Speed Academy first of all thanks alot fr replying and clearing everything... i love your videos.. the one with sasha's NA 350z was my fav as i drive a Z myself.. i hope you guys do another piece on that car.. keep up the good work!!
We'll definitely shoot more vids with Sasha's Z. It's such an awesome car.

Wow. That was uneventful and pointless.....
Yeah, who ever wants to add a bunch of power to their engine, so pointless...
