12sho Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Is it just me or does it seem the 2013's seem to be putting out some pretty stout HP numbers. They seem to be pushing close to 400hp stock. Did Ford change something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoNuff Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Livernois told me the 13s were faster but didnt say why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoMoCoSho Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'm wondering if we have an overboost function added.I see anywhere between 8-14 PSI. 12 is supposed to be the max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoman04 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'm wondering if we have an overboost function added.I see anywhere between 8-14 PSI. 12 is supposed to be the max.Some of 2011 came stock tune with 13 psi boost. And my car is faster than some of stock 2010's so maybe YES but (FORD)not on paper!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighBarSHO Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Lol. I have 3 more psi now with the tune on top of whatever stock boost is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83racecrew Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Everything I have read says no changes. 365 bhp for the 2013's just like 10-12. Translates into ~284 whp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkside Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Mine dynoed at 310whp stock. I'm guessing that Ford dyno's theirs with 87 octane from the factory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Dyno's are very subjective, means go 3 different shops and you will 3 different results. There are just way to many variables and how each shop performs there tests, but they are great tools for charting the performance of a engine thru its development. As to Ford using 87, I am sure they tested on varying grades of fuel. But how they came up with there numbers to publish are more political then anything, mainly for insurance reasons. Now as many manufactures have fudge numbers in the past, either under rating there numbers or over rating, is the subjective part about dyno's you can control your results. While I don't believe Ford over rated the cars HP, cause as told from engineers that developed the engine have seen numbers as high as 750hp during development before things went bad. Now thats the million dollar question, how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeprato Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I did find a ford published document about an overboost feature on the focus st which is probably what you are referring to. But as crash said dyno numbers can vary based on the temp, the methodology used in dyno calculations, the brand of the dyno, the gear used, etc... The dyno is a tool to measure progressive development of your car over time with the various modifications and the biggest thing is it gives your tuner the ability to put a full load on the car to dial in the tuning without the need for street driving or a track to perform the same measurements. It feels good to see those big numbers, but ultimately the track should be your best gauge for what you did before and where you are now.
