I spoke with Tim today, and he suggested a forged 6.4 block with his custom supercharger cams. Probably run a challenger intake untill i can afford the monster kenne bell blower. Now my shopping for a 6.4 block begins!

-300 hp loss?? Typical transmission loss is only like 75 hp. What happened to the other 225 hp??

Usually it's roughly a 20% loss for the drivetrain,not a hard and fast 75Hp loss,lol. For 1400 at the crank roughly 1100 at the tires is about right

That's very impressive. But, if you got the cash, you can make it fast!
I didn't know that Barth was doing Mustangs as well? Good to know.
@2010 Infantry Vet, what details can you give me on your Mustang? Sounds beastly bro!

I guess I was thinking the 75 hp is between a manual and automatic transmission difference. I know my Camaro 2SS has a 75 hp difference as I had the 6 spd manual

If you're making around 400hp at the crank a 75hp loss is about right,as that's right in the ballpark of a 20 to 22% loss. You have to factor in a driveshaft that takes horsepower to accelerate,plus the rear-end that swallows up horsepower to,and whatever you have for tires.If you have heavier then stock axles they'll also take more horsepower to get up to speed
The heavier the tires / wheels /axles etc.the more horsepower they eat to accelerate on the dyno.Everything behind the engine will eat horsepower to accelerate,and quite often if you have 1400 at the crank you're also going to have heavier then stock axles etc,the tranny isn't the only thing behind the engine

Not sure if hes still messing with stangs. His old shop that specialized in mustangs was in alpharetta GA. He stroked my 4.6 to 5.0 with all forged internals, ported and polished heads, turbo cams, reichard racing intake, 60#lb injectors, return style fuel system" twin 57mm turbos, viper spec T-56 6 speed, tubular K member with coilovers. Made 620rwhp @20psi and 801rwhp @ 30psi.
9:20 quarter mile on slicks.
