Just kinda wondering about how much would a 01' L put down on the dyno? and what would that equal to what it puts out at the block? thanks for your time.

 

About 350-360 rwhp.

 

Someone told me it was more like 340-350 I have never dynoed so i dont know. I am just wondering if my info is incorrect..

Ford claims 380hp at the flywheel. With a minimum of 11% drive train power loss, how are you able to dyno 350-360rwhp?

 

A lot of people baseline in that range.

 

I have an 03, and it had 440 miles on it and it did 364 rwhp.

I just dynoed mine (stock) on friday and got 355rwhp 440rwtq

 

Lightnings must be under rated at 380 then??? 380 minus 11% is less then 360 so it must be underrated form the factory.

Just had my 2003 L dynoed today. It has 500 miles on it and is BONE STOCK. I'm kind of disappointed with the numbers. 322.9 HP@5000 and 389.6 ft-lbs@3000. I'm wondering if anybody has ever dynoed this low?

 

I dynoed stock at 361 RWHP / 430 RWTQ on my 01 w/ 1000 miles on it.

Wow thats a big diffrence. I'mr 25-45 hp lower than other trucks that are stock. I wonder if there is a problem with my truck. I seen an earier thread about the intercooler pump, but that doesnt seem to be my problem because i do have bubbles in the resevoir tank for the intercooler.

I really didnt plan on modding the truck for a while, because I would of been happy with 350-360 at the wheels.

Can I call SVT and complain about lack of power or are my numbers still in the ballpark of 380 flywheel HP.

 

These numbers are not stock, but here's a graph of my 01 L on the dyno with just intake and exhaust. Mods are JDM silver bullit exhaust and AFM powerpipe/powerstack filter.

358hp/429tq

If you feel you dyno'd low the best way to doublecheck is go to the track. Dyno's can often be off by quite a bit. One dyno may read high, and one might read low. As long as you are in the 13's or low 14's at the track, your truck is on par.

 

My 02 did 354HP and 416 torque bone stock.
