You sir are correct i just picked up a well kept 07 with 109k for 16500 its basically fbo minus long tubes. It has a 2.6 pulley, twin 65 tbody, jlt 123 cold air, offroad hpipe and borla stingers i was told it was dyno tuned to 550 rwhp but this car in the video made 563 with a stock exhaust so it may actually do more idk i know it runs like a raped ape lol.
@@staceyhauck4200 no i just picked it up couple days ago i gotta get a couple mods on her before i wanna try to run it at the drag strip whenever they open that is. Car needs a heat exchanger, 1 piece driveshaft and a drag pack before i hit the strip. You dont need that stuff per sey id rather have it on the car before running it though. Based on what others have done it should be deep in the 11s at above 120 somewhere just depends on da and track prep and traction etc.
I have all the exact same mods except I have a 2.65 pulley. Could I put the 2.5 on without having to get another tune....... actually I don't have the throttle body but I do have a full exhaust
A throttle body will def pick up power on a stock blower. Most say its 15-20 rwhp depending on other mods and which one you go with some of the monoblades may be even higher than that. On a car that is pullied and tuned making 550+ the throttle body is def worth it as its shown to be a restriction beyond 550 wheel
Stock is fine for that but anything bigger on cooling is always better. The cooler everything is the more power you will make even stock. So no you do not have to do it, but upgrading heat exchanger and even radiator will make more power in the long run as temps increase.
Shouldn’t you first mod on these cars be beefing up the charge air cooling system? Well I guess that’s if you care about replacing a hand built 5.4 from ford…. Or being forced into a custom build.
Thanks for making a video of my car! The ride home was fun good power! No issues.
Awesome have fun!
I love those GT 500's great power for almost stock
Thanks! So easy to make really good street power for not much money.
These early GT500s are a really good deal now! A lot of car for the money and they take so well to mods! Thanks for posting!

It’s a shame you’re not closer, I live in Florida, I have a 2009 G8 GT that’s in need of a DOD, and an exhaust.

I have a 08 gt500 with a 2.6 pulley and jlt intake. I was wondering how much the tb is worth with the stock Eaton.

I have a 2012 gt500 I’m considering a pulley swap as well as a cai should I upgrade the heat exchanger or will the stock piece be sufficient?

Stock injectors and pump?
Correct.
The heat soak on these after 1 good pull with these simple mods is terrible. Feels like you lose 150hp on the next pull.
It is a 5.4 after all lol
A nice upgraded heat exchanger will help that alot of.. I don't think our 07-12 gt500 even have heat exchanger fans and they are only single pass
@@autolabsshop the stock heat exchanger is designed for the stock hp an aftermarket piece is highly recommended
@@raymonddelacruz846 I really doubt stock setup is even rated for stock power lol
@@autolabsshop barely adequate
Not bad. HEMI Can do better
Thanks for the comment
