how much RWHP do 4.6 stangs have? (stock form)

Road_Runna · Mar 30, 2004

anyone, I know they have 260 at the engine but what about at the wheels.
and is this 260 true for all model 4.6's?

blk2003GT · Mar 30, 2004

260 minus a drivetrain loss of 15% would be 221RWHP. Only 99+ GT's were rated at 260hp.

230 rwhp on a stock 2002 GT http://home.golden.net/~trinity/Dyno/mustdyno1.jpg

depending on the car the dyno runs ive seen . our cars usualy put down between 225 and 230 or so stock. And i believe the 260 to be accurate. The cobra and mach are both underrated but i don't think the gts are

decoy562 · Mar 30, 2004

Yep, most seem to be around 220-230 rwhp, depending on the car and whether it's a 5-speed or automatic.

231 rwhp here when stock. 2003 4.6L 5 speed.

Damn. My stock 98GT came factory wit 225flyhp. Wonder what the rwhp would be like 190? yikes...

99+ GT: 220-235rwhp
99/01 Cobra: 270-285rwhp
03/04 Cobra: 360-390rwhp
96-98 GT: 180-200rwhp
96-98 Cobra: 255-270rwhp

260hp with a 15% driveline loss is 226 hp

226??? I know its anywhere from 220 to 233 but 260 minus 15% I get????oh saay 221.......not 226

redlined50 · Mar 30, 2004

my stock auto 97gt got 190 at the wheels

Blakers01GT · Mar 30, 2004

remember to factor in that a TOTALLY stock GT will put out better numbers then a GT with JUST gears.

redlined50 · Mar 30, 2004

i have heard that too.

CottonBurnerz · Mar 30, 2004

narmal math no worky fer yew? 260 - 15% = 221.

robg860 · Mar 30, 2004

Yeh..... Take 260x.85 and you get the correct figure 221. Actually very simple math learned in Grad school!!!

Modular2v · Mar 30, 2004

260x.15= 39 260-39=221 But i see gts dyno higher than this...i have also seen that the 96-98 cobras dyno around 240ish

Solid Snake · Mar 31, 2004

Drivetrain loss based on a percentage doesn't sound right to me. So 260 x .15 = 221. What about a 600HP car? Why does it lose more power through the driveline than the 260HP engine?

more power
more friction
more heat
more loss of power

but there have been many debates about this
no real 100% positive answer

Rio96 · Mar 31, 2004

Does a Dynojet report...rearwheel HP, or crank HP?
Dynojet supposedly puts in a drivetrain loss correction.
Most posters use the term RWH.
If anyone from Dynojet reads this, feel free to post.
