There was a guy on the Facebook group that posted a dyno graph of his F150 a couple of weeks ago.

Stated the truck (5.0 w/ straight pipes and an AFE CAI) made 4xx whp and 42x wtq. I called BS. He didn't like it.

When he posted the graph, the dyno readings skyrocketed when the truck hit the factory rev limiter, obviously skewing his "peak" numbers. He honestly believe his truck made that peak power for a split second of RPM...LOL

No need to be defensive. It's just a conversation. If you can't handle it, don't post on the subject.

That's kind of what I'm referring to. People do stuff like that putting way too much stock into dyno numbers for bragging rights but then only end up looking like a clown when the performance of the vehicle doesn't match claimed peak numbers.

The only numbers that matter are performance numbers at the track and A/F ratio.

No harm done. I just wanted to see a dyno chart. That's all I said. Nothing about peak power or acceleration

He's still on the stock motor and running low boost. It's most likely making around 600-650rwhp/600tq through the auto. He will be putting an Aluminator motor in it at some point. That kit on a different car with a built motor previously made 1249rw to give you an indication of what it capable of producing.

Cool. I'd like to see when the boost comes on in the Coyote. Smaller displacement V8 so wondering if the boost is laggy at all.

It's instant. To add to that, being an auto he can easily brake boost it to leave instantly on the hit at full torque.
