612 horsepower upgrade

It's called an FF, lol. Not sure how much you can squeeze out of a NA engine without significant mods. Vivid sells one but it's like 20hp which to me would be completely unnoticable

 

Eventually there will be a thread wherein someone commissions a tuner to add twin turbos their 612. It's the only way to remain competitive without (seriously) blowing the bank.

 

change to a loud exhaust, it will feel atleast 60 more horses.

 

Yep, it seems to be the only proper upgrade )) I chose this way and never regret it )

 

The 612 and Superamerica already have been hot rodded to take them from the 515 hp of the 575M (612 essentially the same engine as the 575M) to 540 hp. Some headers might improve on that slightly, but not sure anybody makes them.

A 550 owner has had his block redone to provide 6 liters of displacement, but that is a huge undertaking. He will probably get 580-600 hp out of her with other mods.

 

Not a chance you get 50 more hp from the ECU...

 

Agreed, especially when the 612 engine is already in a pretty high state of tune for an engine without VVT.

 

I think overall with sports cats, center pipes, back boxes, ECU tune/remap & a sports air filter, you would probably not get more than 25-35 bhp.

 

Ask your mechanic if it's ok if you baseline the car before and after at an independent dyno shop(the average number of 10-15 pulls on a hot engine). Find a reputable shop for this with a Mustang dyno, they are brutally honest dynos. If he stand behind his work, he should be ok with it. Also, find out over how broad a rev range the power bump will be. If it's only at a narrow 500-1000 rpm bump, what's the point? And lastly, make sure that he knows that the tune will work and deliver the power on a nice summers day with normal available fuel, i.e, 92-93 oct. AKI, and not knock.

Ask him what the compensation will be if he does not deliver - and have him put it in writing...

There are simply too many out there making wild bogus claims.

 

Thread on this?

I remember a guy by the name of harmony autosport converted his 550 to ITB, changed headers to 6-1 and a lot of other stuff years ago and he easily shot over the 600 mark.

Company went out of business though, and never heard anything of the car since...

 

Supersprint has some graphs on their website; stock vs. a complete Supersprint setup. With a remap you might get close to 600.

Bas- Different forum. Cannot post url. John Cribb.

 

Bas, shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll tell you all about it offline.

 

Hi Vince,
With my headers in nocat version and re mapping for me is an objective feasible......
As son as possibile i will put my 575 in dyno and i will have Numbers ....
Best

Too bad Supersprint put an X pipe in there. Cost them some hp and torque they would not have lost with straight pipes.

 

He guys, we had a 612/2004 Standard car on the dyno last year and result was 495bhp. Which we found not too bad for "F Factory" power descriptions.
Car pulls hard and after 30.000kms in one I do not see a point to upgrade. Problem on very fast Autobahn stages is not power but weight.
