AM's 2011 GT Gets 385RWHP W/CAI & Tune

[AMChrisYoung]

At AmericanMuscle, we're Mustang people. We support do-it-yourselfers by offering tech articles, installation guides, and now product information and real-world results for the 2011 Mustang.

Once our Bama Custom Tuning team got their hands on our 2011 5.0 GT, they couldn't wait to get started installing and testing the exclusive prototypes we've been helping develop. We can't tell you about all of them yet, but there is one we can share with you--a prototype C&L CAI. Think a custom tune and a CAI can't give you impressive hp gains? Think again. Here's our dyno breakdown:

· Stock – no modifications: 363RWHP / 331RWTQ
· Factory tune, Prototype C&L cold air intake: 374RWHP / 338RWTQ
· Bama Custom Tune, stock Airbox: 379RWHP / 357RWTQ
· Bama Custom Tune, Prototype C&L cold air intake: 385RWHP / 362RWTQ

All tunes are not created equal, check out our blog (with video!) here to see why Bama Custom Tunes are ahead of the curve.

nice numbers, thought you might see more increase with CAI + tune though.

Isnt that what the bolded and red text was saying?

Their car is an automatic. As such, it'll put down about 3-5% less at the tire than the manual versions will.

This being the case....these are indeed decent numbers.

Thanks, guys! We have a few other tricks up our sleeve, and we're excited to see what we pick up with this next round of mods. We even have an article in store for you!

Any guess as to what modifications we have going on next?

he said "thought".

It would be a nice push for you guys to have the first forced induction 5.0L running the street if that's any indication to you what we'd all like to see happen.

Those are auto numbers?

what are the manuals doing?


Impressive green one.

 

[AMChrisRose]

Yes, these are Automatic dyno results. The Manual vehicles are seeing just shy of 400RWHP with this same combo kit. Again, this depends on what dyno, what correction factor, and how aggressive the tuning is.

I will have tons of new track information for all of these modifications coming soon! You might have to pick up an issue of Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords to get the info!
