Looks like yours was better than this bone stock V8 2003 LS. We dyno'd it at a local event we had for an LLSOC meet.

The factory rating is probably 280HP at the flywheel, not at the rear wheels.

That's like 25% loss through the drivetrain. Seem like a lot, but I don't really know.
Hey jgfish did you get your dyno run here in town?

These 5R55 trannies do not have much parasitic loss. My educated opinion is that Ford over-rated the Gen2's from the factory which is why people see lower than expected dyno numbers from them.
That does seem a little low, considering your intake, exhaust and x-cal mods. But every dyno is different, depending on how it is set up, calibrated and maintained. Some read higher than others and some read lower.
This was my '03 V8 a few years ago at another LLSOC event.

Yeah Leo! I've been thinking about doing it again next year.

Well, it all depends on the dyno. Not all dyno's are alike so some information may be skewed a bit. Also, weather conditions will play a role in the performance as well.
Also, the 280 HP is at the crank and not at the rear wheels.

That's what I figured. The factory has to make it look good.

well, that chart explains why my car really seems to accelerate hard once it gets above 3500 RPM. That's peak power!
Was this a tuning trip to the dyno or just an informational trip?

That's how all cars are rated from the manufacturer, I thought this was common knowledge.
Yeah. I thought for sure there would be more power with the intake, exhaust, and the tune. This was the first time I've ever dynoed any vehicle.
Noah, Joel (King03LS8) knows the guys at a dyno/performance shop in Buda. It was pretty cool since I've never seen a car dynoed in person.
I wish it was a tuning dyno but it was for my information. I wanted to see if the three items available for the '03+ LSs was worth the money. My LS does sound really great though... Now with ILLS's turbo, I hope to see much more power once he's finished with his.
